Iran Pressure: Trump said he’s running out of patience with Iran and urged a deal, as shipping data and reports point to limited passage for some Chinese-linked vessels. Trade Deals, Big and Small: Trump touted “fantastic trade deals,” including China’s plan to buy 200 Boeing jets—far below earlier expectations—while the summit also focused on expanding US business access and Chinese investment. China Signals Caution: China also stressed it wants Middle East shipping lanes reopened quickly and pushed back on UK moves to nationalize British Steel.
