President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing for a high-stakes summit this week.

Despite the event being viewed as a potential turning point for ending the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran, reports Axios, Trump arrives without a negotiated agreement after months of failed diplomatic efforts.

The Trump administration has pursued an Iran deal since early April but rejected Tehran's counterproposal Sunday, describing it as "unacceptable."

The situation was further complicated Monday when Iranian Ambassador Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli announced Iran's readiness to support a Chinese-proposed four-point peace plan focused on establishing security and development in the Persian Gulf region, according to an automatic translation of their post on X.

The Chinese government has not publicly disclosed details of the proposal, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Iran's endorsement of China's plan, rather than Trump's, creates significant complications for the Beijing summit discussions.

Journalist Charbel Antoun wrote for The Hill, Trump enters negotiations with weakened leverage having failed to broker a deal before the meeting.
