The US ambassador to China stated that Donald Trump offered to sell weapons to China. David Perdue also reported that Trump asked President Xi if he wished to purchase arms at some time.

Furthermore, Perdue noted that the US position remains unchanged. Washington approved an $11.1 billion arms sale destined for Taiwan in December.

The US Ambassador to China, David Perdue, confirmed that US law requires supplying Taiwan with defence weapons under the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act. Trump also stated he was pausing the $14 billion arms sales package for Taiwan.

In related developments, Xi urged Trump to exercise "prudence" regarding Taiwan. A White House fact sheet claimed that China and the US fought together to win in the second world war.

Separately, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute reported that China's arms imports dropped by 72% between 2021 and 2025. Chen Ming-chi asserted that Taiwan faces a severe situation within the Taiwan strait.
