The U.S. says Chinese companies have shared wartime satellite imagery with Iran. A group of Democratic lawmakers on Monday wrote a letter to the White House urging President Donald Trump to challenge Chinese President Xi Jinping when they meet later this week over support they allege Beijing has given to Tehran in the Iran war.
Trump and Xi are set to meet Wednesday in Washington in their second summit since the war broke out in February. The Democrats, who are all veterans of the armed services, cited a Sept. 11 Wall Street Journal report that a U.S. assessment found that a Chinese company's provision of satellite imagery supported an Iranian strike on an airbase in Jordan in July. Three U.S. soldiers died in the attack.
"Our servicemembers are paying the price in blood for this administration's pathetic refusal to confront Beijing," Reps. Pat Ryan, Seth Moulton, Ted Lieu, Chrissy Houlahan, Jason Crow and eight other Democrats wrote in the letter, which they shared with ABC News.
Trump "has an important opportunity to condemn China's role in arming and enabling Iran, and to demand an end to their support," the lawmakers added
