US President Donald Trump repeated that China and Russia are not participating in the Iran conflict, claiming Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin assured him they would not sell weapons to Iran, including via Chinese companies. He framed their neutrality as stabilizing and said Xi told him China would not give or sell weapons to Iran. Trump added that he is doing very big favors for China in exchange for its support and warned that arming Iran would be very bad for them. The statements come amid ongoing US–Iran hostilities, a recently signed ceasefire memorandum, and continued American casualties. Analysts note potential implications for energy markets, sanctions enforcement, and the use of digital assets to evade penalties. Overall, coverage emphasizes Trump portraying China and Russia as non-participants, while others point to the fluid and contested nature of the situation.
