Trump Tells Xi Chinese Support for Iran Is 'Totally Unacceptable'

news18.com —

President Donald Trump told Chinese President Xi Jinping that any Chinese support for Iran in the ongoing conflict is "totally unacceptable," during Xi's state visit to Washington on Friday. Trump confirmed the discussion while showing Xi around the National Archives. US Ambassador to China David Perdue said Washington warned Beijing weeks ago against providing Iran with intelligence, military equipment, or parts, and that Trump repeated the message. Perdue claimed Beijing had responded by withdrawing some assistance, while noting the Iran issue was separate from Taiwan. China has called for de-escalation, with Xi urging Trump to reduce tensions and pursue a nuclear agreement. The talks also covered the Strait of Hormuz, where shipping remains below pre-war levels, as Washington seeks to limit Tehran's support while Beijing advocates peaceful negotiations.
