Trump Warns China of Severe Consequences If It Arms Iran

President Donald Trump has warned that China would face serious repercussions if it supplies weapons to Iran. Speaking to reporters before his trip to Miami, Trump said any transfer of Chinese air-defense systems to Tehran would escalate the Middle East conflict and threaten diplomatic efforts. Analysts note this could further strain U.S.–China relations already tested by trade disputes and military tensions.

Trump’s remarks come ahead of a planned mid-May visit to China, raising the stakes for both capitals as regional instability deepens.
