United States President Donald Trump has stated that China has agreed not to supply weapons to Iran, following direct communication between him and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
Speaking on Wednesday, Trump revealed that he had written a letter to Xi expressing concerns over reports that China might be providing military support to Iran.
According to him, Xi responded with assurances that China was not engaging in such actions.
Trump also referenced an upcoming summit with Xi scheduled to take place in Beijing on May 14–15, where both leaders are expected to discuss key global issues, including the ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
The development comes amid heightened geopolitical strain in the region, particularly surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil transit route.
The United States’ actions in the area, including a reported blockade of Iranian ports, have drawn criticism from China, which described the move as “dangerous and irresponsible.”
China remains Iran’s largest trading partner and a major importer of its oil, making its position in the conflict highly significant.
In a separate interview, Trump also addressed reports of cyber tensions between the United States and China, suggesting that both countries engage in cyber activities against each other.
The situation underscores the complex relationship between the world’s leading powers, as diplomatic engagements continue alongside rising global tensions.
