Trump’s Defense of Xi Hit by Embarrassing New Bombshell

Key Points:

• New intelligence reveals Houthi militants in Yemen are using Chinese-supplied components to manufacture precision-guided ballistic missiles, contradicting President Donald Trump's claims that China would not support U.S. adversaries.
• The missiles, modeled after Iran’s Kheibar Shekan, have a range of up to 1,200 miles, threatening targets across Saudi Arabia and Israel, with parts intercepted hidden among commercial cargo shipments from China.
• Despite evidence of Chinese and Russian involvement in supplying military goods to Iran and its proxies, the Trump administration has maintained a conciliatory stance toward authoritarian leaders, including hosting Xi Jinping and striking deals with Vladimir Putin.
• The Houthis have developed domestic manufacturing capabilities and diversified supply chains, reducing their reliance on Tehran and Hezbollah, according to Washington-based experts.
• The ongoing conflict with Iran and proxy groups has become increasingly unpopular in the U.S., with rising fuel prices and voter anxiety ahead of the November midterm elections.
