Taiwan: Trump Asked Xi Jinping if He Wanted to Buy American Weapons

U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly asked Chinese President Xi Jinping during a meeting in Washington if China wanted to buy American weapons. This was revealed by U.S. Ambassador to China, David Perdue, in an interview with Fox News, shortly after Xi Jinping's state visit to the U.S. The discussion took place amid heightened tensions over U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, which Washington supports militarily, while Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory. China, rapidly expanding its military capabilities, has not publicly responded to the question.
