Trump and Xi hold key talks as UN faces global crises

abc.net.au

World leaders gather in New York for the UN General Assembly, but the meeting most likely to determine the world's immediate fate is between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington. The Iran war remains a central crisis, with Trump unable to end it as Iran's IRGC seeks political punishment. China, with its oil reserves and diplomatic ties, could mediate between the US and Iran, potentially pressuring Tehran if the conflict drags on. Since last year, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, affecting 20% of global energy flows, while Trump has rejected Saudi military aid requests and declared a trade war on Canada. European nations are also examining a NATO without the US amid heightened Russian threats.
