[00:00:00]Speaking on Air Force One, en route back to the US, Donald Trump said his meetings with Xi Jinping went very well and that the Chinese president wants to see the Strait of Hormuz opened.

[00:00:10]On Iran, it's very interesting. He feels strongly they can't have a nuclear weapon. He said it very strongly. They can't have a nuclear weapon and he wants them to open up the strait. But as he said, they close it and then you close them.

[00:00:25]With a smile. And so we we control the strait.

[00:00:29]I'm not asking for any favors cuz when you ask for favors, you have to do favors in return. We don't need favors.
