President Donald Trump told Chinese President Xi Jinping during a Washington summit that Chinese assistance to Iran was unacceptable, amid reports that intelligence from Chinese groups was helping Iran improve its targeting of U.S. sites.
Axios reported that Trump asked Xi to stop supporting Iran. CNN, citing unnamed sources, reported that intelligence supplied by Chinese groups was contributing to increasingly effective Iranian targeting.
The Iran discussion came during Xi’s three-day state visit to the United States. Trump offered Xi a warm reception, meeting him at the airport and publicly emphasizing the strength of their relationship. The two leaders also discussed trade and artificial intelligence. A two-month extension of the U.S.-China trade truce was announced as Xi arrived.
Taiwan, another major source of tension, was discussed privately but was not mentioned publicly during the official meeting, Deutsche Welle reported. According to The Guardian, Xi urged Washington to adopt what he called the “correct position” of opposing Taiwanese independence, while Trump delivered his warning about Chinese help for Iran.
Trump later said he expects to meet Xi twice more before the end of the year. One meeting is planned for November during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in China, according to The Hill.
