US President Donald Trump has claimed that China is pleased with his efforts to “permanently open” the Strait of Hormuz and that the two countries are working together on the issue.
In a post on social media, Trump said China was “very happy” with the move, adding that reopening the key shipping route would benefit both Beijing and the rest of the world.
“I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz. I am doing it for them also — and the world. This situation will never happen again,” he said.
There has been no immediate response from China regarding Trump’s remarks.
