Trump Asks Xi to Stop Helping Iran

Donald Trump has asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to stop helping Iran, adding pressure to Beijing’s relationship with Tehran. The appeal reflects Washington’s efforts to isolate Iran and limit its access to economic, diplomatic, and strategic support. China has maintained ties with Iran, including trade and energy cooperation, while seeking to balance relations with the United States. Xi’s response could influence broader negotiations, regional security, and the international debate over sanctions and Iran’s nuclear and military activities in coming months.
