Trump Warns Xi Over China Helping Iran During Washington Visit
· World · Times of India, Al Jazeera, CBS News
US President Donald Trump told Chinese President Xi Jinping during a meeting in Washington that any Chinese assistance to Iran is totally unacceptable. US Ambassador to China David Perdue stated that Washington made it clear that direct or indirect aid, including intelligence, parts, or military equipment, crosses a red line. The leaders held a 90-minute closed-door meeting covering regional conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine, and the Korean Peninsula. Xi is on a three-day state visit to the US, which included a black-tie dinner with technology executives and tours of historical sites. Official readouts from Beijing noted discussions on maintaining bilateral stability, though no major trade breakthroughs were announced.
