Last update: 4 hours agoTrump-Xi Summit Wrap: Trump and Xi ended their Beijing visit with “fantastic” trade talk, but Iran dominated the final day—Trump says Xi pledged not to provide military equipment to Tehran and offered help to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while China urged an early end to a war it says “should never have happened.” Nuclear & Shipping Terms: Trump also said the US and China agree Iran must not get nuclear weapons, and both sides pushed for Hormuz to stay open as shipping disruptions keep energy prices jumpy. US-Iran Deadlock Pressure: With ceasefire talks stalled, Trump warned he’s “not going to be much more patient,” as reports of a ship seized near the UAE keep escalation fears alive. IMF Global Risk: The IMF says the world is sliding toward a worse-growth, higher-inflation scenario if the Iran war drags on. Energy Shock Spills Into Asia: India raised petrol and diesel prices for the first time in four years, citing Iran-war crude pressure; Pakistan and Iraq also look to IMF/World Bank support as regional trade and oil flows get hit.
