U.S. President Donald Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping in a letter not to give Iran weapons, and Mr. Xi responded that China was not supplying Tehran, the U.S. President told Fox Business Network in an interview that aired on Wednesday (April 15, 2026).
Mr. Trump, in the interview taped on Tuesday (April 14), did not say when the letters were exchanged. Last week, he threatened countries with an immediate 50% tariff if they supplied Iran with weapons.
