Trump warned Xi against any Chinese support for Iran, says US ambassador

US President Donald Trump told his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping that any support or assistance from Beijing to Iran would be "completely unacceptable," according to US Ambassador to China David Berdo, who spoke about the discussions between the two leaders.

Berdo said the Iranian issue featured prominently during the talks between Trump and Xi, which also covered a range of topics including global trade, artificial intelligence, and the Taiwan issue.

The US ambassador described the discussions between the presidents as frank and open, noting that the two sides have begun to build a relationship based on a degree of mutual trust.

The summit agenda between the United States and China was dominated by global trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan, and the Iran crisis, with a clear focus on Beijing's stance regarding any support or assistance to Tehran.
