Trump Says US Caught Chinese ‘Gift’ for Iran, Testing Red Line

President Donald Trump made cryptic comments Tuesday about China possibly providing weapons or other potentially lethal war supplies to Iran, a move that would test a US red line on aiding Tehran during the war.

The president suggested in an interview on CNBC Tuesday that the US caught a boat with a “gift” from China, after talking about the US restocking its munitions, hinting — without explicitly saying — that the present was some form of lethal aid for Tehran.
