Trump Urges Xi to Halt Chinese Assistance to Iran
U.S. officials say Xi assured Trump that Beijing would not provide direct or indirect support to Tehran after reports of missile and sanctions help.
- President Donald Trump met Chinese President Jinping in the Oval Office at the White House on Thursday, September 24, 2026, reiterating that Chinese aid to Iran is unacceptable.
- Ambassador Perdue stated the United States warned China weeks ago that providing any direct or indirect assistance to Iran—including intelligence, components, or military equipment—is completely unacceptable.
- Reuters reported earlier this month that Iran uses a "barter-like arrangement" to bypass sanctions, exchanging discounted oil for Chinese goods to sustain its economy amid U.S. pressure.
- During a Fox News Friday interview, Perdue said Jinping assured the United States that China is not aiding Iran, despite reports to the contrary.
- Perdue noted these discussions are part of an "ongoing drumbeat," describing the meetings as candid conversations that build trust between the leaders regarding difficult issues.
