Trump heads to China later today, where Iran will be one of many talking points in his high-stakes summit with leader Xi Jinping. China has long been a close ally of Iran and is the main importer of Iranian oil.

A major decision on Iran is unlikely to be made before Trump’s departure to China, according to sources.

CNN’s Alayna Treene and Jennifer Hansler have the latest on the diplomatic hurdles facing Trump in China. Also, Middle East correspondent for The Economist Gregg Carlstrom and CNN national security analyst Alex Plitsas detail China’s perspective on the talks.
