Trump & Xi Just Changed the World Order: AI, Iran, & the Next Cold War | Tom Bilyeu Show Live
"Xi said something along the lines of whatever the US needs to resolve the issue, the situation in Iran will be willing to do. He said we absolutely cannot let them have a nuclear weapon and they absolutely cannot keep the Strait of Hormuz closed."
During the summit, Xi Jinping reportedly made unprecedented commitments on Iran, including staying neutral on military aid and ensuring the Strait of Hormuz remains open without tolls. Bilyeu notes this could effectively end the Iran conflict if China follows through, as Iran is widely viewed as dependent on Chinese support. The statement represents a major geopolitical concession if accurate.
