Trump Denies Discussing U.S. Arms Sales with Xi

“President Donald Trump said he has not discussed selling arms to China, contradicting a suggestion made by his ambassador to Beijing,” Bloomberg reports.

Said Trump: “I never heard of that.”

Washington Sun: “David Perdue said Trump raised the prospect of the arms sales from the U.S. to its ascendant geopolitical rival, an unlikely offer that if consummated would upend generations of U.S. policy toward China and Taiwan and expose U.S. technology to a potential foe.”
