Trump's View on the China-Russia Meeting with the Islamic Republic

U.S. President Donald Trump responded to reporters on Thursday regarding the meeting of the Islamic Republic, China, and Russia in Beijing, stating, "Perhaps they intend to discuss non-nuclear issues. Maybe they will talk about reducing tensions related to nuclear weapons." The meeting of the deputy foreign ministers of these three countries took place on Friday morning, March 15, in Beijing. A spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry had previously announced that "Ma Zhaoxu," the Deputy Foreign Minister of China, would chair the meeting, which included Sergey Ryabkov, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, and Kazem Gharibabadi, the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic. The ministry stated, "The three parties will exchange views on the nuclear issue of [the Islamic Republic] of Iran and other topics of mutual interest." In response to reporters, Trump emphasized the importance of efforts to reduce the stockpiles of nuclear weapons held by countries that possess such weapons, including the United States, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and other nuclear-armed nations. The U.S. President said, "If we can reduce their numbers, it would be a great achievement. We have a lot of weapons, and their power is very great." Donald Trump stressed, "You do not need this amount of weapons." The U.S. at the Security Council: Iran's nuclear program is a threat to global peace and security. The National Security Council at the White House responded to the Medicalian: there are still two paths, military or agreement. Britain warned that if necessary, it would activate the 'trigger mechanism' against Iran. Netanyahu: Israel is determined to prevail over the Islamic Republic and its proxies. Seventy-seven former U.S. military personnel: Israel should finish the job against the Islamic Republic.
