When asked about what he hopes to achieve with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Iran, US President Donald Trump said Beijing has been “very respectful” about the issue.

“I have a very good relationship with President Xi, I find him to be a tremendous guy and we get along well,” Trump tells reporters, adding, “we do business with China and make a lot of money.”

Trump says Xi has been “very respectful” on Iran, despite buying 60 per cent of its oil from there.
