US President Donald Trump today made a major diplomatic claim regarding relations with China, sparking a new global debate. Through a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump revealed that Chinese President Xi Jinping has agreed not to supply weapons of any kind to Iran. According to Trump, he personally raised this critical issue with the Chinese President, following which he received this assurance from Beijing.
The US President wrote in his post that China is very pleased with his efforts to keep the Strait of Hormuz permanently open for the entire world. He expressed confidence that when he visits China in the coming weeks, President Xi Jinping will give him a warm welcome and a hug. Trump stated that the United States and China are currently working together very “wisely” and in a “great way.”
Comparing war and peace, Trump remarked, “Isn’t working diplomatically better than war?” However, referencing his military might, he also issued a warning that if necessary, the US remains the world leader in combat capability.
Trump’s statement comes at a time of heightened tension between the US and Iran in the Middle East. His claim is being viewed as a significant shift in Foreign Policy, where Trump is utilizing his strategy to isolate Iran by cutting off its major international support.
