Trump Thanks Xi and Putin for Neutrality on Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that China and Russia maintained neutrality during the war with Iran, adding that this made the situation much better.
During a closing press conference at the G7 summit in Évian, France, on June 17 (local time), President Trump emphasized the achievements of the ceasefire agreement with Iran, saying, "I want to thank President Xi of China. He was completely neutral. I also want to thank President Vladimir Putin. He was also very neutral."
President Trump noted that China and Russia, which have close ties to Iran, "could have made it much more difficult for us."
He continued, "As you know, Iran has shoulder-fired weapons that can shoot down aircraft. They are quite accurate," adding, "I asked (President Xi) if he would please not provide or sell those weapons to Iran, and as a result, he largely did not. Thanks to them, the situation is much better."
President Trump stated that the core of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for ending the war is that "Iran will never possess nuclear weapons," and warned, "If they do not comply with the agreement, we will resume bombing until they do."
He added, "This agreement offers Iran a historic opportunity," and said, "If they follow the path of cooperation, the door will be open to them, and the country will have a chance to survive."
President Trump said the MOU, which he electronically signed on June 14, "will be signed tomorrow or the day after," adding, "Crazy things often happen in negotiations, but this deal will almost certainly be signed."
He also announced that after the agreement is signed, "technical discussions regarding the removal of all stockpiles of enriched materials will begin immediately."
Regarding the current Iranian leadership, he effectively characterized it as a "regime change," stating, "I think the new group of leaders is much smarter, less radical, and are great people."
President Trump also revealed that he had delivered a copy of the electronically signed MOU with Iran to Israel, another party to the war.
President Trump said, "Israel has been a great partner," and added, "Prime Minister Netanyahu can get a bit excited sometimes, but he is a great person."
However, he also expressed regret, saying, "There is some disagreement regarding the Lebanon issue," and "I think we could handle the Hezbollah issue a bit better."
