Trump thanks China’s Xi and Russia’s Putin for being ‘neutral’ in Iran war
EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France: US President Donald Trump (pictured) on Wednesday (June 17) called Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin “neutral” during the war with Iran, saying they had not thwarted his efforts to curb Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
“I just want to thank them because they made things a lot better,” Trump said after agreeing a ceasefire agreement in the conflict.
Speaking at a news conference at the Group of Seven conference in Evian-les-Bains, France, Trump told reporters he was grateful to the leaders for staying out of the conflict.
“I want to thank China, President Xi. I was with him and he remained neutral, totally neutral, and I appreciate that,” Trump said. “And I want to thank Vladimir Putin, he was very neutral. They could have made it much more difficult for us.”
Trump’s comments contrast with his comments about U.S. allies, from Japan to Europe, whom he criticized for failing to contribute to the military operation or subsequent efforts to clear the Strait of Hormuz, the maritime trade route blocked by Iran.
Moscow and Beijing maintain close ties with Tehran. Russia has said the war could lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. Beijing has condemned Washington’s attacks on Tehran as a blatant violation of the country’s sovereignty.
US intelligence officials believe Beijing has supplied Tehran with goods potentially used for military purposes, according to sources familiar with the matter. China’s independent oil refiners have been Iran’s main customers during the conflict, defying US sanctions.
But Trump said Xi helped resolve the conflict and avoided sending “heavy weapons” or shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles.
“They could have sent an oil ship with six destroyers alongside it, on each side. They didn’t do that. President Xi helped me. He tried to help, and I think he probably helped solve the problem,” Trump said.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington said their position was “consistent” and that they were “working tirelessly for an end to the fighting and peace.”
