Trump's Arms Sale to Taiwan: A High-Stakes Summit
Description
President Trumps decision to discuss U.S. arms sales to Taiwan during his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping could disrupt Americas long-standing policy. A bipartisan group of senators urged Trump to approve a $14 billion arms package, and Taiwan passed a $25 billion special defense budget to buy U.S. gear. Analysts worry China might use rare minerals leverage to slow future deals. Despite tensions, no significant U.S. policy shifts are expected at the summit, with bipartisan voices in D.C. doubling down on supporting Taiwans defenses.
