Both sources describe the remark in similar terms, emphasizing Trump’s insistence that China should not provide backing to Iran. However, the accounts differ in the amount of detail provided beyond the core language of the warning; neither report text provided here elaborates on specific policy measures, evidence cited, or follow-on diplomatic or economic steps.
