Original: Trump offered Xi American weapons? U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue told Fox News that Donald Trump asked Xi Jinpin

U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue said on Fox News that Donald Trump asked Xi Jinping whether China would be interested in purchasing American weapons. The State Department moved quickly to clarify that Washington has no plans to sell arms to Beijing, seeking to walk back the remark.

Why now: The suggestion that a U.S. president floated arms sales to a strategic rival contradicts long-standing export policy, prompting swift official clarification and debate.
