Trump asked Xi Jinping whether China would buy US weapons
Original: Trump asked Xi Jinping if China would like to buy US weapons, American ambassador says
The American ambassador says Donald Trump asked Xi Jinping whether China would be interested in buying US-made weapons. The remark, if accurate, would be an unusual sales pitch to a strategic rival and raises questions about US export controls and arms policy toward Beijing. Details of when and where the exchange took place, and how China responded, have not been disclosed.
Why now: The unusual claim that a US president offered to sell arms to China is striking and politically charged, drawing wide attention.
