- Asked whether he supports the new initiative, President Trump declined to comment on the specifics but told Axios the diplomacy with Iran was going well.
- It's unclear if Trump has given his blessing behind the scenes, but a source said China had been helpful in the efforts to reach a deal.
- It's unlikely that the Pakistanis would launch such an initiative with China if the US opposed it.
While the U.S. administration's stance remains ambiguous, the involvement of China suggests a strategic pivot and a possible shift in geopolitical alignments that could impact currencies, equities, and commodities, especially oil.
