Trump says he asked China's Xi not to give Iran weapons

Donald Trump asked Chinese President Xi Jinping in a letter
not to give Iran weapons, and Xi responded that China was not supplying
Tehran, the US president told Fox Business Network in an interview that aired
today (15 April).
Trump, in the interview taped on
Tuesday (14 April), did not say when the letters were exchanged. Last week, he
threatened countries with an immediate 50% tariff if they supplied Iran with
weapons.
"I wrote him a letter asking
him not to do that, and he wrote me a letter saying that, essentially, he's
not doing that," Trump told FBN's "Mornings with Maria"
program.
He also said he did not expect shifts in the global oil
market over the war on Iran and changes in Venezuela to impact the dynamics of
his planned meeting with Xi next month.
"He's somebody that needs oil.
We don't," Trump said.
