HANOI: US President Donald Trump told his Vietnamese counterpart Sunday he is ready to help resolve the dispute in the resource-rich South China Sea which Beijing claims most of.
鈥淚f I can help mediate or arbitrate, please let me know... I am a very good mediator,鈥� the dealmaking American leader told Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang during an official state visit Sunday.
Vietnam has long courted support from Washington in its dispute with China over the precious waterway, where Beijing has built military installations and artificial islands.
Beijing鈥檚 sweeping claims also overlap with those of the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan.
Trump鈥檚 comments come ahead of a state visit on Sunday afternoon by Chinese President Xi Jinping who will meet with top communist leaders.
Tensions over the sea spiked earlier this year when Vietnam suspended an oil exploration project in an area of the waterway also claimed by Beijing, reportedly over pressure from its powerhouse communist neighbor.
In 2014, China moved an oil rig into waters off Vietnam鈥檚 shore, sparking violent protests in several Vietnamese cities.
Trump is in Hanoi for a brisk visit that could touch on boosting military support for America鈥檚 former wartime foe.
Talks will also focus on promoting trade between the cosy allies, though Vietnam鈥檚 gaping trade deficit worth $32 million could be a sticking point.
Trump heads to Manila later Sunday for the final stop on his marathon Asia tour that has mainly focused on building regional consensus against North Korea鈥檚 nuclear ambitions and espousing his 鈥楢merica First鈥� vision of global trade.
