Trump Says China and Russia Are Not Giving Weapons to Iran
U.S. President Donald Trump says Trump Says China and Russia Are Not Giving Weapons to Iran. He told reporters this after speaking with the leaders of both countries.
Trump said Chinese President Xi Jinping promised him that China will not send any weapons to Iran. Xi also told him this rule applies to Chinese companies too — meaning no Chinese business is allowed to sell arms to Iran either.
Trump said he trusts Xi’s word, especially given how relations between the U.S. and China currently stand. He believes China is sticking to this promise.
Trump also said Russian President Vladimir Putin gave him a similar assurance — that Russia will not sell weapons to Iran.
However, Trump didn’t share any proof or extra details behind these claims. He also didn’t say whether these promises came up during any specific meetings or diplomatic talks.
These comments come at a time when the world is paying close attention to Iran’s military strength and the security situation in the Middle East. They also show that Washington remains focused on stopping advanced weapons from reaching Iran, as tensions in the region continue.
