New Allies?
Trump was also facing issues from China as they were seemingly working with the Iranian Government.
China recently launched a new freight train connection with Iran. It was said the train could reach Iran in about 2 weeks.
America had placed sanctions on Iran after it pulled out of the deal regarding no development of building nuclear weapons.
China showed however that they won’t be controlled by no one as they did trade with Iran.
The train reportedly carried tons of sunflower seeds to Iran.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson commented on its trade plans with Iran.
“We will continue with our normal and transparent practical cooperation with Iran on the basis of not violating our international obligations,” he said.
Trump could find the going tough as China doesn’t seemed intent to stop trading with Iran.
This could be seen at present as a sign that he doesn’t hold all the cards at this point.
He would definitely find the going tough until he can garner better relations between China and Russia, if that was possible.
