US President Donald Trump says China has agreed not to send weapons to Iran.
He claims coordination between Washington and Beijing has improved, including discussions on maritime energy routes.

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that China has agreed not to send any weapons to Iran, framing the move as part of broader diplomatic coordination between Washington and Beijing.

The comments were made in remarks outlining what Trump described as recent understandings with Chinese leadership on regional security and energy routes.

‘Very Good Coordination’ With Beijing

Donald Trump said cooperation between the United States and China has improved significantly, describing the relationship as “smart and very good.”

He claimed that China was “very pleased” with recent US actions related to maritime navigation and energy security, including measures he said were designed to ensure uninterrupted global shipping flows.

Trump did not provide details or evidence of the reported agreement, and there was no immediate public confirmation from Chinese officials.

Claim of Halt on Arms to Iran

Trump stated that China has agreed to stop sending weapons to Iran, calling the move a diplomatic breakthrough.

He framed the development as part of efforts to reduce escalation in the region and limit support for Tehran.

The claim comes amid ongoing tensions involving Iran and shifting alliances among major global powers, particularly over security in key maritime corridors.

In his remarks, Trump also referenced cooperation on global shipping lanes and energy security, suggesting that recent coordination aims to stabilize markets and reduce threats to maritime traffic.

He linked these efforts to broader US strategy in securing key trade routes, though he did not offer operational details.
