United States President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 50% tariff on China if it sends weapons to Iran. In an interview with Fox News on Sunday, he reiterated what he said earlier about slapping new levies on nations that supply arms to Tehran.
However, when asked whether he thinks China will provide MANPAD (Man-Portable Air Defense Systems) to the Middle Eastern country, Trump said he doubts it. Nevertheless, he repeated that he has a good relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping and spoke positively about bilateral relations between the two countries. "As far as China's concerned, China can send their ships to us, China can send their ships to Venezuela... we have a lot of overcapacity, and we'll probably sell [oil] for even less money," he declared.
Trump is set to visit China and meet with Xi in Beijing in May. His trip to the country was previously delayed after the US and Israel launched an attack against Iran.
