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.

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.

China’s leader, Xi Jinping, said relations between the two countries could enter an “extremely dangerous place” if Mr. Trump ignored Chinese demands over Taiwan.

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.

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.
