  • US President Donald Trump says he expects to speak with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin at next week’s APEC summit, where he plans to discuss “denuclearisation” and the war on Iran.
  • Earlier, he said the US’s latest blockade on Iran’s land supply routes is in effect, and that renewed strikes are “highly unlikely” if there is progress in talks on Tehran’s nuclear programme and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
