Secretary Bessent, in a CNBC interview held in Beijing on the occasion of the U.S.-China summit, said that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is in China's interest, making these remarks accordingly.

While accompanying President Trump on his visit to China, Secretary Bessent also commented, "If there is anyone in China who can exert influence over Iran's leadership, I think they will work with them behind the scenes."

Regarding the Taiwan issue, Secretary Bessent said, "President Trump understands the sensitivity of this matter," adding that those who claim otherwise simply do not understand President Trump's negotiating style.

He further noted that in the coming days, we will hear more from President Trump regarding the Taiwan issue, and that a more detailed position from President Trump on this matter will be presented.
