U.S. President Donald Trump says he appreciates Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin for staying “neutral” during the war involving Iran. Speaking after the adoption of a ceasefire agreement, Trump told reporters at a press conference during the Group of Seven meeting in Evian-les-Bains, France, that Xi and Putin did not “thwart” U.S. efforts aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Trump said the two leaders “made it a lot better” and described their stance as “totally neutral.” He added that they could have made matters more difficult for the United States. The reports attribute the remarks to Trump in connection with the ceasefire process, and they present his characterization of China and Russia’s role as a lack of interference rather than active support. The accounts do not provide additional details about the ceasefire terms or independently assess whether China or Russia took specific actions related to the conflict. Overall, the sources agree on the substance of Trump’s comments and the context: his reaction to the ceasefire and his acknowledgment of Xi and Putin.
