🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump Challenges Ambassador’s Account of Possible U.S. Arms Offer to China - Trump is disputing Ambassador David Perdue’s account that he asked Chinese President Xi Jinping whether China wanted to buy U.S. weapons. Trump appeared to suggest Perdue may have been referring to Taiwan, while later saying “maybe it’s a good idea” to make such an offer. The State Department said U.S. law prohibits arms sales to China and that there is no offer or plan to sell weapons.
