Trump told Xi helping Iran is unacceptable, US ambassador says
Amid the tea-drinking and pleasantries in Washington this week, Donald Trump said he did bring up the Iran war with Xi Jinping and China's support for Tehran.
During a three-day summit in Washington, US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed Iran's involvement in the ongoing war. The US ambassador to China, David Perdue, stated that Trump made it clear to Xi that China's support for Tehran was unacceptable. Despite the summit's emphasis on trading relationships, Perdue emphasized that any assistance China provided to Iran, be it direct or indirect, would be considered unacceptable.
The US Trade Representative, Jamie Greer, hinted at progress in trade negotiations, stating that details of the limited agreements would be released on Monday. Both leaders praised each other's visits and expressed optimism about the future of the US-China relationship, with a planned APEC summit in China and a G20 summit in Miami.
China has not commented on the visit to the National Archives, but analysts suggest Xi may have been interested in seeing documents related to the US recognition of communist China in 1979.
