White House: China agrees Iran never can be allowed to have nuclear weapons

The reason President Donald Trump pushed Operation Epic Fury against Iran was to make certain that the rogue Islamist extremists in Tehran never get a nuclear weapon, as they’ve issued threats repeatedly against the rest of the world should that happen.

Now it appears China agrees.

The White House announced that Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have agreed during their current summit in China that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and Iran can “never have a nuclear weapon.”

A report at the Washington Examiner said, “Trump is halfway through a two-day bilateral summit with Xi in Beijing. The two leaders have spent hours behind closed doors discussing trade, the war in Iran, and existing American policies regarding Taiwan.”

The report explained both nations provided readouts indicating discussions on top-line issues and on Iran, “the White House said that Xi had agreed with Trump on the need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and that Tehran’s nuclear ambitions must be stunted.”

The White House statement said, “The two sides agreed that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open to support the free flow of energy. President Xi also made clear China’s opposition to the militarization of the Strait and any effort to charge a toll for its use, and he expressed interest in purchasing more American oil to reduce China’s dependence on the Strait in the future.

“Both countries agreed that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.”
