Trump stated that during a recent meeting in Beijing, Xi Jinping assured him that China would not sell weapons to Iran, including Chinese companies, and he believes Xi&#8217;s promise. Trump also mentioned that Vladimir Putin has made similar assurances, despite the U.S. providing weapons to NATO countries and Ukraine. <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Trump noted that both China and Russia have refrained from supplying weapons to Iran, which he sees as beneficial for global stability. His comments come as the White House confirms a scheduled meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington. Trump is also considering launching a significant military action against Iran, especially after recent deaths of U.S. service members and the collapse of nuclear talks, claiming that Iran needs to face more consequences. He highlighted ongoing diplomatic and military tensions involving Iran, China, Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S., amidst discussions about sanctions and international relations.  <\/p>\n<p
