Iran’s Ghalibaf:
The world stands at the cusp of a new order.
As President Xi said “The transformation unseen in a century is accelerating across the globe,” and I emphasize that the Iranian nation’s 70-day resistance has accelerated this transformation.
The future belongs to the Global South.
President Trump on his meeting with President Xi:
"I brought up Jimmy Lai, and I would say the response to that was not positive... I did I feel optimistic about the second one that’s now under consideration- the pastor. Very optimistic, actually."
U.S. President Donald Trump on Iran:
"They have no deck. No, the only thing they have going is a fake press. They know how well we're doing militarily.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Iran:
"They have no deck. No, the only thing they have going is a fake press. They know how well we're doing militarily.
And then at the request of a very nice group of people from Pakistan, who are very close to Iran, I didn't go that final. They said, could you stop? We're going to make a deal. And we really had the confines of a deal.
No nuclear. They were going to give us the dust, nuclear dust. Everything we wanted.
And every time they make a deal, the next day it's like we didn't have that conversation. And that's taken place about five times. There's something wrong with them. Actually, they're crazy.
And you know what? Because of that, they cannot have a nuclear weapon.
(Chinese President Xi Jinping) agrees with me on that. He agrees with me that he wants to see it end. He'd like to see it end. He would like to help if he wants help. That's great. But we don't need help.
And you know the problem with help? When somebody helps you, they always want something on the other side. That's the way help works."
U.S. President Donald Trump:
"We are leading China by a lot in the AI race... and we’re going to win it... President Xi was very surprised at how well we've done with AI. When it started, they took this gigantic lead, and now, we are substantially ahead of them in AI."
U.S. President Donald Trump:
"It’s always been the biggest thing for (President Xi), Taiwan. Now, with me, I don’t think they'll do anything when I’m here. When I’m not here, I think they might, to be honest with you... I'd like to see everybody making chips over in Taiwan come into America."
U.S. President Donald Trump:
"I think the most important thing is relationship. It's all about relationship. I have a very good relationship with President Xi, and with China... trade has been very strong... there's a lot of things happening for the farmers."
Trump says he discussed Taiwan and Iran with President Xi:
"He does not want to see a fight for independence... I didn’t make a comment on it... on Iran, it’s very interesting. He feels strongly they can’t have a nuclear weapon... and he wants them to open up the strait."
Trump, asked whether he pressed Xi Jinping to push Iran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz: "I'm not asking for any favours."
