US President Donald Trump warns Russia and China against selling or supplying weapons to Iran. In remarks made on Friday, Trump tells Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping that providing military support to Tehran would carry “serious consequences” and “certainly not” be in their best interests. Trump also says he believes the assurances he has received from both leaders that Russia and China are not yet doing so. The warning is framed as a caution against arms transfers rather than a claim that such transfers have already occurred. Reporting from Nigeria-based outlets describes the message as directed specifically at potential weapons sales to Iran and positions Trump’s comments as a deterrent to future action by Moscow and Beijing. The accounts emphasize Trump’s reference to prior assurances from Putin and Xi while highlighting his public threat of repercussions if the countries decide to provide military support to Iran.
