United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Thursday that the US delegation visiting Beijing is not asking China for help with the situation in the Middle East. "We don’t need their help," he told NBC News, while insisting that US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed on several issues related to Iran. "The Chinese side said they are not in favor of militarizing the Straits of Hormuz, and they’re not in favor of a tolling system, and that’s our position," he explained.
Rubio also repeated that the Trump administration's stance on Taiwan has not changed. He said that US arms sales to Taiwan "did not feature prominently" in discussions during the visit and pointed out that the decision on further sales lies with Trump and Congress. He stated that China would be making a "terrible mistake" if it tried to take Taiwan by force rather than political means.
