The United States asked China to help end the conflict with Iran, the Washington Post writes.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bassan, with the support of Donald Trump, asked Beijing to use its influence on Tehran to bring an end to the conflict. China has already conveyed this message to the Iranian side, the newspaper adds.
As the publication's author, David Ignatius, points out, ending the conflict has become one of Trump's main tasks amid Americans' dissatisfaction with the war.
