The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has issued a serious warning this Friday to the leaders of Russia and China, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, urging them not to supply weapons to Iran because "it would go against their interests," although at the same time he has assured that both have conveyed to him that they are not carrying out such operations.
During the last summit held in Beijing between the two leaders, Xi Jinping told Trump that his country was not involved in any way in this matter. "He told me that under no circumstances were they buying and selling weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and that statement includes Chinese companies," the U.S. president explained in a message broadcast on his own digital platform.
Trump has pointed out that, "considering our relationship, I take him at his word. Furthermore, I am also doing him very big favors," although he has not offered more details in this regard.
Regarding Russia, the U.S. leader has indicated that, "despite the horrible war in Ukraine," he has also received the same guarantees from Putin. He has emphasized that his bond with the Russian president "still continues" because the Kremlin leader understands that the United States "is not selling weapons to Ukraine, but to NATO countries," which pay the "full price" and regarding the subsequent redistribution Trump claims to have "no idea how the weapons sent are redistributed."
With these statements, the occupant of the White House has wanted to make it clear that "two of the great countries that occasionally talk about Iran are not participating" in the supply of weapons to Tehran, although he has stressed that "if they did, it would be very bad for both, something that certainly would not be in favor of their best interests."
