Donald Trump "sells out" Taiwan after China visit

United States President Donald Trump, after concluding a summit with China's Xi Jinping, said he discussed US arms sales to Taiwan and said he would soon make a decision on the issue, highlighting a flashpoint in US-China relations.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One after his return from China, Trump said he and Xi “talked a lot about Taiwan,” but added that he did not believe there was a conflict on the issue. He said he had not made any commitments to Xi regarding Taiwan. Trump also said Xi asked directly whether the United States would defend Taiwan if China attacked the island, but that he refused to answer.

"There's only one person who knows this, and that's me. I'm the only person. That question was asked to me today by President Xi. I said, I'm not talking about that. I have made no commitment to Taiwan. We discussed selling arms to Taiwan but no decision has been made. But you know, I think the last thing we need right now is a war that's 9,500 miles away," Trump said.

Asked whether Xi had suggested there was a risk of conflict with the United States over Taiwan, Trump downplayed the prospect. "I don't think there is a conflict, except we don't need their strength, we don't need Taiwan," Trump said.

China claims Taiwan as its territory and has long opposed US arms sales to the island, which Beijing sees as interference in its internal affairs. The United States, despite the lack of formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, remains Taiwan's most important international supporter and largest arms supplier.

Iran was not left out of the spotlight either. The US president called his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping,'s stance on Iran "very interesting." "He is convinced that Iran should not have nuclear weapons," he told reporters aboard Air Force One, "and he wants them to open the Strait of Hormuz."

For its part, Tehran has officially received a response from the United States, which "completely rejects" the Islamic Republic's proposal for negotiations. Al Jazeera reports this, citing Iranian sources, who say that Tehran had included five conditions that must be met before nuclear negotiations can begin: an end to the war on all fronts; the lifting of all sanctions; the release of frozen assets; compensation for war damages and losses; and recognition of Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.
