US President Donald Trump (Source: Reuters) United States President Donald Trump on Friday claimed that neither Russia nor China was supporting Iran amid the ongoing tensions in West Asia. In a post on Truth Social, Trump, citing his recent discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping, stated that Beijing “would not, under any circumstances, give or sell weapons" to Tehran. The US President also claimed that he was doing China “very big favors" and said he trusted Xi’s assurance.

Trump Reveals Conversations With Xi, Putin “President Xi, at our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that he would not, under any circumstances, give or sell Weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran — And that statement included Chinese Companies. Considering our relationship, I take him at his word and, besides, I am doing him very big favors, also," Trump wrote. The US President said Russian President Vladimir Putin had also given him the same assurance regarding Iran. He further said Putin understood the US position on supplying arms to NATO countries, which, in turn, provide military assistance to Ukraine. However, Trump added that he had no idea how those weapons were ultimately distributed. ‘Putin Understands…’:Trump On US Selling Weapons To NATO “Likewise, President Putin, despite the horrible War going on in Ukraine (The relationship remains, as it does with President Zelenskyy), told me that he would not sell Weapons to Iran.

He understands that I do not sell Weapons to Ukraine, but to NATO Countries. They pay full price, and how those Weapons are distributed, I have no idea," he remarked. Warning both countries against participating in the conflict, the Republican leader added, “Therefore, two major Countries that people speak of often in terms of Iran are, in my opinion, not participating. If they did, it would be very bad for them — Certainly not in their best interests."
