Trump told Xi that China helping Iran is unacceptable, says US ambassador

US President Donald Trump made ‌clear during candid talks at the ​White ⁠House with Chinese President Xi ‌Jinping that ‌Chinese help for Iran is unacceptable, US Ambassador to China David ‌Perdue said on Friday.

"We made it very ⁠clear to them weeks ago that, you know, any help that they would give Iran, whether it be direct or indirect, whether it ​be intelligence or parts or military equipment, ‌was totally unacceptable. President Trump made that very clear again yesterday. ⁠This is an ongoing drumbeat," Perdue said in an interview with CNBC.

"These two ​leaders ‌are beginning to develop a ‌relationship of somewhat trust and also working on the issues. I mean, ‌this was a ‌very candid and ⁠open conversation, and every ‌time they talk, I think we see a different level ⁠of intimacy about these difficult ​issues that we're dealing with."
