Trump threatens China over Iran

Trump threatens China over Iran

The President's rhetoric comes as high-level negotiations are underway in Pakistan, led by Vice President JD Vance.

Trump suggested that China's intervention would be a major provocation and that the U.S. is prepared to respond forcefully.

He also touted plans for a 250-foot 'Triumphal Arch' to be built on the National Mall, symbolizing American strength.

Analysts suggest the threats are intended to maintain leverage over Tehran during the fragile ceasefire period.
