Trump dismisses report China aided Iran in Jordan attack that killed US troops

President Trump publicly downplayed a Wall Street Journal report alleging Chinese entities provided satellite imagery to Iran before a July attack on a US base in Jordan that killed three troops. Trump equated Chinese and US surveillance activities and avoided committing to raise the issue with Xi Jinping. The dismissal signals a potential softening of US-China tensions over the matter, but the underlying intelligence claim remains unverified.
