Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported39m ago
During the UN General Assembly on Saturday, China pushed back against the United States regarding its policies on Iran and Cuba. A Chinese official urged that the sovereignty of Gulf nations be respected and called on the relevant country to lift its blockade against Cuba and cease threats against the island nation.
This diplomatic friction stands in sharp contrast to the cooperative atmosphere displayed earlier in the week at the White House, where President Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping with a lavish state dinner and military flyovers.
