The United States says it has no plans to sell weapons to China following comments by the U.S. ambassador in Beijing. The ambassador said President Trump offered to sell arms to Chinese President Xi Jinping.

U.S. officials dispute that characterization and state there are no current plans for such arms sales. The Wall Street Journal and ABC News both report the denial as a direct response to the ambassador’s remarks, without detailing any specific future negotiations or requests tied to the comments.
