Trump says Xi and Putin told him China and Russia will not sell weapons to Iran
President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: - "Thank you to all the Senators who opposed yet another Dumocrat-led attempt to undermine our National Security. Congratulations to our GREAT Speaker, Mike Johnson, and the House Republicans for their MAJOR success in taking the first step towards passing the Budget Bill.

Thank you to our terrific Chairman, Jodey Arrington, Chip Roy, Michelle Fishbach, Virginia Foxx, Jason Smith, Mike Rogers, GT Thompson, Bryan Steil, our incredible Whip, Tom Emmer, Majority Leader, Steve Scalise, and all those who came together to take this important step. This will be one of the most consequential Bills in America's History.
Strengthening our powerful Military, providing aid for our Farmers and, most importantly, as much of THE SAVE AMERICA ACT as possible. Our Voters will be extremely happy, And even impressed!
I am asking that the Senate adopt a Budget Resolution, which can pass with a simple Majority, before leaving for the August recess. We are ready to work side-by-side with the Senate to get this done for the American People!" - "The European Union is at it again and, as usual, taking direct aim at GREAT American Companies!

After having fined Apple, for no reason at all, 15 Billion Dollars, Meta, 3 Billion Dollars, Amazon 2.5 Billion Dollars, and many others, we have just been informed that Google, a truly advanced and amazing group, has been fined yet another 1 Billion Dollars, without explanation. This brings the Google total to over 18 Billion Dollars!
This illegal and highly discriminatory practice started at these high levels during the first year of the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, but it's not going to continue during the Trump Administration. The United States of America is not a "PIGGYBANK" for Europe, nor will we allow it to be!
Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that we will immediately initiate a 301 Investigation into the practice of "ROBBING" American Companies and, in turn, the American Taxpayer. The European Union will pay a very big price for this illegal and highly unethical conduct, which I have consistently warned them about.
The penalties will be entirely reversed and, we anticipate, a substantial TARIFF to be placed on them at the earliest possible moment. - "Canada disinvited the United States of America to the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, which is fine, considering they are paying substantial TARIFFS to the United States, but the original Deal on the Bridge, which was terribly negotiated by a previous Administration, no longer stands. We changed the terms of the Deal so that the United States of America now gets 50% of the Profit.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - "President Xi, at our recent meeting in Beijing, China, told me that he would not, under any circumstances, give or sell Weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran, And that statement included Chinese Companies. Considering our relationship, I take him at his word and, besides, l am doing him very big favors, also.
Likewise, President Putin, despite the horrible War going on in Ukraine (The relationship remains, as it does with President Zelenskyy), told me that he would not sell Weapons to Iran. He understands that I do not sell Weapons to Ukraine, but to NATO Countries.
They pay full price, and how those Weapons are distributed, I have no idea. Therefore, two major Countries that people speak of often in terms of Iran are, in my opinion, not participating.
If they did, it would be very bad for them, Certainly not in their best interests. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - "Rick Jackson, from the Great State of Georgia, very successfully campaigned for Governor, on being strong with "TRUMP, " and won, against a field of very talented and popular opponents, including an incredible guy, Burt Jones, who has a truly bright future ahead of him!
Rick has been a very successful Businessman and Entrepreneur, and will now be a tremendous Governor, who will work tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U. A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, Keep our Border SECURE, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Safeguard our Elections, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.
Now is the time for all Republicans to unite behind Rick to ensure he has a tremendous Victory in November! Rick will work closely with me to enact America First Policies.
He is a FANTASTIC person who everyone is very proud of, as am I. Rick Jackson has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Governor of Georgia, HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!" - "Greg Dolezal is a MAGA Warrior running for Lieutenant Governor to represent the Fantastic People of Georgia.
He is strongly supported by my good friend, and the Peach State's next Governor, Rick Jackson! A Highly Respected State Senator, Greg has dedicated his life to serving his Community.
As your next Lieutenant Governor, Greg will work hard to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Support our Amazing Farmers and Ranchers, Promote MADE IN THE U. A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Advance Election Integrity, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Military, Veterans, and Law Enforcement, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.
He will work brilliantly with Rick Jackson, and do great things, never seen before in Georgia! Greg Dolezal has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Lieutenant Governor of Georgia, HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!" - "It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, Brian Strickland, who is running to be the next Attorney General of the Wonderful State of Georgia!
A Proven Leader, Brian previously served as a Highly Respected State Senator and State Representative, delivering strong results for his Community. As your next Attorney General, Brian will continue fighting tirelessly to Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Champion our Law Enforcement and First Responders, Support our Military/Veterans, Safeguard our Elections, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Uphold our Constitution, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.
Brian Strickland has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Attorney General of Georgia, HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!" - "Please let this statement serve to represent, until further notice, that from this point forth, any and all damages done to Ships, Cargo, or anything related thereto, will be paid for by Iranian Money that the United States has in its possession, and controls. These damages may be very substantial but, nevertheless, this is the fair and equitable thing to do.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!" - "A year ago the United States of America attacked, very powerfully, the Houthis, for their interference with commerce and trade, by shooting at ships. Since that time, and during our conflict with Iran, they have acted very responsibly.
Unfortunately, now they are starting up again, shooting at two Saudi Arabian ships last night. Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if they do this again, the U.
S. will hold Iran responsible, in that the Houthis are a Surrogate and/or Proxy of Iran, and major military punishment will be inflicted upon Iran and, of course, the Houthis, themselves, who I am very disappointed with in that they have, until now, acted very professionally and smart. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
Explanation:

Thank you for your attention to this matter!" This is a direct signal about Iran's external military supply environment, and it suggests Trump is publicly trying to lock in a deterrent against Chinese or Russian weapons transfers to Tehran. The immediate policy implication is heightened pressure on Beijing and Moscow to avoid any support that could strengthen Iran's air defenses, missiles, drones, or proxy networks, especially as U.S. concerns over Iranian regional escalation remain high.
Historically, Iran weapons issues have been central to U.S. sanctions policy, the post-2015 nuclear deal period, and the broader effort to constrain Tehran's access to advanced systems through international isolation and export controls. The market and geopolitical impact is mainly about signaling, not confirmed policy action, but it raises the stakes for any future evidence of China or Russia assisting Iran.
Trump's mention of NATO-country weapons flows to Ukraine also reinforces his continued framing of U.S. military support as indirect and transactional. If followed by enforcement steps, sanctions, secondary sanctions, or diplomatic pressure, this could affect arms-transfer expectations, Iran risk pricing, and the wider U.S.-China-Russia diplomatic triangle.
