A Wall Street Journal report revealed U.S. officials
traced high-resolution images of Jordan's Muwaffaq Salti Air Base—used by Iran
in its July 17 attack that killed three American soldiers—to Chinese entities.
Trump called it standard spying, noting 'they basically do what we do' and praising Xi Jinping's reasonable behavior, ahead of their September 24 meeting.
China denied the groundless claims, while critics say Trump downplays the link to U.S. deaths and supporters view it as pragmatic on mutual intelligence.
