'Too much to lose': Trump believes China, Iran not helping Iran amid conflict with US
The US president's remarks come after he said he "trusted" China and Russia not to help Tehran during the ongoing war earlier this year.
President Donald Trump believes China and Russia are not assisting Iran in the conflict with the United States, despite speculations to the contrary. In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump noted that the two nations have "too much to lose" if they are supporting Tehran, and that Washington would quickly detect any such assistance.
The US President's statements follow his prior assurances to Chinese President Xi and Russian President Putin that neither would provide weapons or support to Iran. Trump made these comments after the US entered a war with Iran, and the speculation of China and Russia's involvement has persisted. US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had previously mentioned that Russia and China were involved at varying levels.
In response to a report from the Wall Street Journal, the Kremlin dismissed the allegations as "fake news."
