Government talking point

Right-wing media spin Trump’s claim that Xi will pressure Iran as evidence of his unmatched negotiating prowess. The coverage omits context and portrays the leader’s personal rapport—not actual policy mechanisms—as the decisive factor, reinforcing a strongman image rather than informing the public.

President Donald J. Trump showed strong leadership by pressing China to keep weapons out of Iran’s hands and pushing to keep the Strait of Hormuz open so working people do not get crushed by more chaos and higher prices.

It would be utterly foolish to believe anything Xi says. I am not a Trump fan, but he's much better than Biden was at containing Xi.

So much for those pretending President Trump would lead us to WWIII. Nothing is less true! He's a man of peace and dialogue. Same with Russia, North Korea and Iran. But when some - like the ayatollahs - don't understand the path to peace and prosperity, he knows how to handle them with intelligence, restraint and sometimes force.
