US President Donald Trump met with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, in Beijing, China, this week, as the two leaders sought to strengthen bilateral relations and discuss several pressing topics, including the Iran War. Despite Trump's efforts to force China's hand in abandoning Iran, the two nations remain close trade partners, even as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
Rick hosted Professor Mohammad Marandi of the University of Tehran on this episode of his podcast, as the two tackled several topics from around the globe, including the Iran War, the Trump-Xi summit, and 9/11.
