FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin The U.S. said on 15 May that China supports reopening the Strait of Hormuz without restrictions, tolls, or military control, according to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer after summit talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. As reported by Reuters, Greer said Chinese officials made clear that Beijing wants shipping routes restored quickly because open access through the strait is important for global trade and energy flows. The Strait of Hormuz has been heavily disrupted during the Iran conflict, with Iran largely restricting passage to non-Iranian ships.
