Trump asks Xi about US arms sales to China; Taiwan package delay denied
Financial Times·US · CN · TW·about 9 hours ago
U.S. Ambassador David Perdue disclosed that President Trump offered to sell arms to China's Xi Jinping, while simultaneously withholding a $14 billion arms package to Taiwan. This marks a notable shift in U.S. arms transfer policy, potentially signaling a realignment of U.S.-China-Taiwan dynamics. The offer's scope and conditions remain unclear, and its impact on regional security and U.S. alliances is uncertain.
