Trump expected to 'apply pressure' on Xi over Iran: US official

Donald Trump is expected to press Chinese President Xi Jinping on Iran when he visits Beijing next week, a senior administration official said Sunday, as the U.S. president seeks a deal to end the Middle East war.

"I would expect the president to apply pressure," the official said in a call with reporters, speaking on condition of anonymity, adding that Trump has done so in previous calls with the Chinese leader.
