US President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox Business that he had corresponded with Chinese leader Xi Jinping regarding reports that Beijing was supplying weapons to Iran.
According to Trump, he wrote to Xi urging him to refrain from such a step, to which the Chinese president responded by assuring him in writing that his country was not supplying weapons to Tehran.
“I wrote him a letter asking him not to do that. And he wrote back to me, essentially stating that he was not doing that,” Trump said.
