Trump denies discussing selling weapons to China
U.S. President Donald Trump denied having discussed with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, the issue of China purchasing American arms, despite the U.S. Ambassador to Beijing stating that he offered the Chinese president arms deals during his recent visit. Trump confirmed that this did not happen and emphasized that the United States does not intend to sell arms to China, in accordance with U.S. law. Reports indicated that discussions about arms sales are ongoing, but American officials reaffirmed that the law prohibits such sales, and that China is focused on strengthening its defensive capabilities. The disagreements between Washington and Beijing revolve around arms sales to Taiwan, which remains a key point of contention, as Taiwan proceeds with American arms deals valued at one billion dollars, amid Chinese warnings against efforts to assert independence over the island.
