He and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are to meet privately in Xi's official residence to

add on the Iran War that's disrupting all of the supply chains, it's not helping its exporters. That's problematic because exports are what's driving the Chinese economy at this point. So it just wants things to calm down. The White House has Trump and Xi have agreed on the need to reopen the state of Formus
where a ship anchored off the United Arab Emirates was seized and taken toward Iran Thursday, and another as a tact and sank near the coast of Oman. U.S. Commander in charge of military operations against Iran disputes a report
“that Iran still has most of its missile stockpile intact.”
At Marad Cooper also says he has the weapons he needs if the current ceasefire breaks down. The members of the Senate Armed Services Committee pressed Admiral Cooper about a recent Washington post story, saying Iran still had 70% of its missiles remaining. Cooper said he disagreed with that figure and then went on to say, "If I give you just a couple
of examples, the defense and usurvates were their drones and their missiles in their navy were degraded by 90% they have about 10% left." Cooper also said he has plenty of weapons on hand if the fighting with Iran resumed, while a ceasefire remains in place, there's no sign of a breakthrough in peace talks, and the
critical, straight of Hormuz remains closed.

Researchers have discovered a new dinosaur species in Thailand, the largest dinosaur ever found in Southeast Asia, and beer's James Dubak has more.
The dinosaur would have been about 90 feet long and weighed about 30 tons. It was a soar-apod, a type of dinosaur that eats plants and has a long neck and tail. The researchers call it Nagatite named after a mythical serpent creature that's worshipped in Southeast Asia.
Nagatite lived between 100 to 120 million years ago.
It gives clues about how dinosaurs got even bigger later on. Here's a researcher, Titti Woot, Saita Panic Sockel. Nagatite essentially represents that kind of on-ramp towards that kind of super-sizing. It is the 14th named dinosaur discovered in Thailand and experts are excited about the expanding fossil record from the region.
