The warning was made in the context of reports from American intelligence. CNN reported that Beijing is preparing to send air defense systems to Iran. “If China does this, they will have a big problem,” Trump said.
The president's statement was made on Saturday during a short conversation with journalists before flying to Miami for the UFC mixed martial arts gala. Trump shared his comments on the situation in the region and ongoing diplomatic talks.
Donald Trump on clearing the Strait of Hormuz
“Now we're clearing the strait. And what's more, we negotiate. It doesn't matter to me whether we reach an agreement. Because we won, emphasized the US president. Trump indicated that Iran had likely placed several mines in the Strait of Hormuz, and the United States had undertaken the task of removing them.
The president said the US is clearing mines even though it doesn't use the strait, while other countries are either too weak, scared or stingy. In this context, he referred to NATO countries, reports the Polish Press Agency.
