5 Hard Truths for Trump About How Russia and China Help Iran

Donald Trump doesn't believe China and Russia are helping Iran in its war with the U.S. The record suggests otherwise.

President Donald Trump stated on Monday that he does not believe China and Russia are helping Iran, suggesting that both nations have too much to lose to provide such support. Trump shared these comments in a post on Truth Social, responding to allegations from critics and political opponents.

The President's comments come amid reports regarding Chinese and Russian entities allegedly supplying Iran with intelligence used for attacks on US troops. According to the Daily Times, Trump dismissed these claims by noting that both countries have significant interests at stake.

Separately, The Hill reports that Trump has entered into a deal to allow Russia to export diesel to the United States. This deal has drawn opposition from four Republican senators, including Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, John Curtis, and Thom Tillis.
