Beijing - no decisions were made on Iran, tariffs or Taiwan. Though U.S. President Donald Trump said he and Chinese President Xi Jinping “discussed almost everything,”
“Neither side moved on the issues that matter most,”
Taiwan was not mentioned in Washington’s readout, however.
Trump later told reporters that he discussed arms sales to Taiwan “in great detail” with Xi and would make a decision about a long-delayed $14 billion package “shortly.”
He said he declined to answer when Xi asked whether the U.S. would defend Taiwan militarily,
Trump said it was Xi who raised the issue in their discussions: “What am I going to say? I don’t want to talk to you about it, because I have an agreement that was signed in 1982?”
