Reuters said it could not immediately independently verify the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked whether he would raise the issue during an expected meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump did not directly respond. Instead, he drew a comparison between Chinese surveillance activities and those conducted by the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump reiterated that he has a good relationship with Xi, saying both sides had behaved reasonably well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US and Chinese presidents are expected to meet in the United States on September 24, although Beijing has not yet officially confirmed the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the report, US officials did not identify the Chinese entities allegedly involved and did not accuse the Chinese government of directly participating in the transfer of satellite imagery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump&#8217;s comments come as his administration seeks to prevent further escalation of tensions with Beijing, despite continued US concerns over China&#8217;s expanding ties with Tehran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has dismissed a report alleging that Chinese entities provided Iran with satellite imagery of a US military base in Jordan before an attack that killed&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2552,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[57,765,254],"class_list":["post-6535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-iran","tag-middle-east-conflict","tag-united-states"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
