President Trump just made a statement on both China and Russia’s perceived role with Iran, with respect to weapons sales to the Islamic terrorist country.

Here’s what he says:

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, l am doing him very big favors, also.

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.

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. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

That doesn’t mean they aren’t helping them in other ways. We’ll see if Trump is right or if, by putting this out there, he’s really sending a warning to both countries not to get involved. He probably knows Iran is looking to buy weapons from other countries like Russia and China, and wants to ensure they don’t get the chance.
