Trump and Xi Exit Summit With Irreconcilable Narratives on Iran
🤝 BEIJING — Both leaders claim a win. That's usually how you know nothing was resolved. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Divergent summit narratives aren't spin — they're the mechanism of failure. Trump needs a deliverable on Hormuz; Xi needs to look unmoved by US pressure. Both claiming success means neither conceded. Tehran reads split narratives as confirmation Beijing extracted its carve-out and delivered nothing binding. Day 76 closes with the blockade intact.
