'China Spies on Us and We Spy on Them Too,' Trump Says After Report on Iran Satellite Images
Trump said he would discuss almost everything with Xi Jinping and downplayed claims that Chinese entities helped Iran before a strike that killed 3 U.S. soldiers.
- Aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump acknowledged on Sunday that the United States and China engage in mutual espionage while discussing his upcoming September 24 meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
