"President Xi just wrote me a beautiful letter saying that he's not doing that" (giving weapons to Iran)

Trump: "President Xi just wrote me a beautiful letter. He responded to a letter I wrote because I had heard that China is giving weapons to Iran. I wrote him a letter asking him not to do that. And he wrote me a letter saying that essentially he's not going that."
