What happened

The stakes are high next week as President Donald Trump endeavors to put the Iran war behind him before he meets with Chinese President Xi Jinping, at a key summit in which the two leaders will have no shortage of issues to discuss.

Why it matters

Investors are hoping that the Trump administration will reach a resolution with Iran, or reopen the Strait of Hormuz, by the time he meets with Xi.

Common ground

China's added to those hopes by also urging Iran to pursue a diplomatic solution ahead of the summit.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Exaggeration / Hyperbole: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
