Trump confronts Xi as US forces seize Chinese ship carrying mysterious 'gift' to Iran
2026-04-21
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] China sent Iran 'a gift' that was intercepted by US forces in the region, Donald Trump said Tuesday morning while venting about Chinese President Xi Jinping a month before their Beijing meeting.

Speaking with CNBC about the US-Iran war, the President noted how the Islamic Regime is 'trying to move [their] missiles around even during the ceasefire.'

'They probably have done a little bit of restocking. We caught a ship yesterday that had some things on it, which wasn't very nice, a gift from China,' Trump said.

'Perhaps, I don't know. But I was a little surprised, because I have a very good relationship, and I thought I had an understanding with President Xi. But that's alright. That's the way war goes.'

He did not expand upon what the mysterious 'gift' was.
