U.S. President Donald Trump had said arms sales to Taiwan would be on the agenda for his talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping which ended Friday.

President Donald Trump arrived in China for a highly anticipated two-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping amid tensions over the U.S. war against Iran.

China wants full control over Taiwan. The U.S. has deliberately remained quiet about what it would do if Beijing tried to take it by force.

As President Trump left Beijing, he and Xi Jinping, China’s leader, played up stability. There was no indication that they had resolved any major points of contention on Taiwan, the war in Iran or other issues.

Donald Trump has cast doubt on a $14 billion weapons package for Taiwan after talks with Xi Jinping in Beijing, raising urgent questions about US commitment to the island and whether the two superpowers can avoid the so-called Thucydides Trap.

U.S. President Donald Trump has heightened anxieties in Taiwan by calling it a "very good negotiating chip" in dealings with China, which claims Taiwan as its own.

Already, the meeting underscored just how far apart the leaders remain on thorny issues, including the war in Iran, trade disputes and Taiwan.
