Xi, Trump Meet at White House; Xi Urges US-Iran Return to Islamabad Memorandum

Chinese President Xi Jinping met US President Trump at the White House on the morning of September 24 local time. Xi said China has consistently held that the sovereignty and security of all countries must be respected and has played a constructive role in de-escalating tensions. He voiced support for the US and Iran returning to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and called on both sides to resume dialogue and reach a comprehensive agreement including the nuclear issue.

China positioning itself as a broker between Washington and Tehran is the notable shift here, rather than the bilateral optics of the White House meeting itself. Framing the Islamabad Memorandum as the return point gives Beijing a stake in a framework it did not originate, which matters for how much weight that document carries going forward. The open question is whether either Washington or Tehran treats Chinese mediation as useful cover or as unwanted third-party pressure.
