Putin and Xi say they 'intend' to play a role in US-Iran nuclear negotiations.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin met for formal talks on Thursday for the first time since President Donald Trump exacerbated the U.S.-China trade war last month.
In a statement at the top of the meeting, Xi pledged to stand by his anti-Western ally against "power politics" and "bullying on the international stage."
"Eighty years ago, the peoples of China and Russia made tremendous sacrifices to secure a great victory, contributing an indelible chapter to the cause of world peace and human progress," Xi said, according to a report by the South China Morning Post.
"Today, in the face of unilateralist backflows and acts of power politics and bullying on the international stage, China will join Russia in shouldering our special responsibilities as major countries and permanent members of the U.N. Security Council," he added.

But but the left keeps telling me that Trump is all buddy buddy with Putin.
The same group that wants a new currency and started BRICS in an attempt to bully the United States in intl trade issues....
China’s whiny baby statements in Moscow today show that Xi is really sweating the pressure from President Trump.
Two guys proving they are 2nd.
Well, the US did steal Russia’s sovereign wealth funds and kicked them out of Swift, …..the world notices these things…..and act accordingly.
A really bad look for Xi today.
You can’t buy this monumental level of irony.
I’m shocked!
Sour grapes. Tell Xi and Putin to put on their big boy pants.
Trump works with both Putin and Xi.
No problem.
The Big Three.
But but the left keeps telling me that Trump is all buddy buddy with Putin
Started by Hillary (during one of the debates, I believe)
Bullies Xi and Putin call Trump a bully…..that means they see Trump as a formidable leader. The days of them sh+tting on everyone else are done.
President Putin likely called Trump to ask him for permission to stand with Xi on this issue just for optics only. 6D chess in the flesh
We’re against international stealing, Xi. Pay up.
lol the US holds very little of the “Russian wealth fund”, and US didn’t unilaterally kick Russia out of swift, but hey I do feel sorry for putin and his 3 day war situation😎
Don’t start wars and these things won’t happen.
L
Not just buddy, the left has accused Trump of being a Putin puppet.
Bullies don’t leave people alone. The US is not a bully; it just wants and needs to uncouple with China and CCP.
China is the one that lies, cheats, steals and spies on its trading partners.
