Donald Trump addresses Iran nuclear threats and US-China relations
During a White House press conference, President Donald Trump addressed several key foreign policy issues. He asserted that Iran will never obtain nuclear weapons, claiming his administration's actions have prevented such a development, which he stated is vital for the security of Israel, the Middle East, and Europe.
Trump also commented on his recent meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, describing the discussion as highly successful and rating it a '12 out of 10'. He denied reports that the U.S. is planning to sell weapons to China.
Regarding regional security, Trump expressed surprise at the release of individuals in the UK who may have ties to Iran, stating that the U.S. would not have released them. He also predicted that Canada would change its position on customs duties and apologize to the U.S. within several weeks.
Separately, data from the U.S. Department of State and Congressional notifications reveal that the Trump administration has approved $21.6 billion in weapon deals for Israel between January 20, 2025, and September 17, 2026. This follows $17.9 billion in military aid and arms deals approved during the previous Biden administration. A recent $2.8 billion proposed deal includes 40,000 900-kilogram bombs and various other munitions.
