Trump Urges Xi to Halt Chinese Assistance to Iran
- 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.
