Trump Claims China Agreed to Cut Off All Weapons to Iran Under Hormuz Blockade Pressure

President Trump claimed on April 15 that China agreed to cut off all weapons to Iran as a direct result of the naval blockade pressure, telling Fox Business he wrote Xi Jinping a letter demanding he cease military aid. Beijing's public stance contradicts Trump's claims: China called the Hormuz blockade dangerous and irresponsible, and it vetoed a UN Security Council resolution to reopen the strait on April 7 alongside Russia. CNBC reported the blockade is straining China-India relations and putting Asia's energy security at risk, as China is Iran's largest crude buyer.
