Trump says Xi 'feels strongly' Iran can't have nuclear weapon

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping "feels strongly" that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon.

"He (Xi) feels strongly that they can't have a nuclear weapon and he wants them to open up the strait," Trump told reporters onboard Air Force One, referring to the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway that has been choked by the war.
