White House Source Confirms China Told Trump to Pound Sand on Iran
Judging Freedom
INTEL Roundtable w/ Johnson & McGovern - Weekly Wrap 15-May
"I heard from a source, a friend of mine who has sources in the White House yesterday, and he'd say, because I had predicted this summit was going to be a nothing burger, he just sent me a quick notice and you were right. And what he was told is that when Trump brought up the issue of Iran and what China could do to extricate the United States from it, they said the Chinese politely told Donald Trump to go pound sand."
Larry Johnson revealed on Judge Napolitano's show that a White House source confirmed China flatly rejected Trump's request for help extricating the U.S. from its failed Iran war during the May 2026 Beijing summit. Johnson characterized the entire trip as achieving nothing substantive, with Chinese state media barely acknowledging Trump's visit compared to their treatment of Putin or Kim Jong-un.
