Trump tells Xi: Chinese support for Iran 'totally unacceptable'

hindustantimes.com —

President Donald Trump confirmed Friday he discussed the Iran war with Chinese President Xi Jinping during talks in Washington, while the US warned that any Chinese support for Iran was "totally unacceptable." US Ambassador to China David Perdue said Trump reiterated the US position, stating that direct or indirect help for Iran, including intelligence, parts, or military equipment, would not be accepted. Perdue added that Washington received assurances from Beijing on Thursday that China was not providing such assistance. The Iran discussion was a key issue during Xi's three-day state visit, alongside the broader US-China relationship. Washington reportedly sees Xi as a potential pressure point on Tehran, though China has faced scrutiny over its trade and dealings with Iran.
