  "summary": "US President Donald Trump has dismissed a report that Iran obtained satellite images of a Jordanian base from Chinese entities before a July attack that killed three US troops. The report, cited by the Wall Street Journal, was based on unnamed US officials.\n\nTrump did not directly address whether he would raise the issue with Chinese President Xi Jinping at their upcoming meeting on September 24. Instead, he noted that both China and the US engage in surveillance activities, stating \"they basically do what we do... when they say China spies on us, I say you're right and we spy on them too.\"\n\nTrump also mentioned that he has a good relationship with Xi, saying \"I think he's behaved reasonably well, and we behave reasonably well.\" According to Free Malaysia Today, China has not officially confirmed the meeting.",
