China spies on us and we spy on them too: Trump
During Donald Trump's return to the United States following a trip to Ireland, he mentioned that he would cover "almost everything" in discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping when the latter visits the US in September. Trump downplayed reports that Chinese entities had provided Iran with satellite imagery of a US military base in Jordan, stating, "They basically do what we do."
The imagery in question pertained to the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, where US forces are stationed. Iran attacked the base on July 17, resulting in the deaths of three US Army soldiers. The Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed US officials, that Chinese entities had allegedly supplied the satellite imagery to Iran, though the entities and government had not been identified.
Chinese officials countered by requesting evidence of the transfer and denying any involvement. Trump appeared optimistic about the forthcoming meeting with Xi, saying they would discuss a wide range of topics during the visit.
