Trump proposed selling weapons to China during Xi state visit

President Trump asked Chinese leader Xi Jinping if China wanted to buy American weapons during Xi's recent visit to Washington. U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue revealed this on Fox News Sunday. Trump told Xi that the U.S. sells weapons to many countries, so China could be a buyer too. Xi's visit ended on Friday. It was only his second state visit to the U.S. in more than ten years. A weapons sale to China would be a major change in U.S. policy. For decades, the U.S. has sold weapons to Taiwan but not to mainland China. Despite the proposal, Trump has continued to support arms sales to Taiwan. Trump also said he plans to meet Xi two more times before the end of the year.
