US President Donald Trump says he will discuss whether the United States should continue selling weapons to Taiwan during meetings with China’s President Xi Jinping, according to reports from multiple outlets. When asked about the US position on Taiwan arms sales, Trump responds that he is “going to have that discussion with President Xi,” adding that Xi would like the US not to sell weapons to Taiwan.
The reports also note that Elon Musk is joining Trump on the China trip. The outlets frame Musk’s presence as part of the broader delegation accompanying the US president, while the specific focus described across sources is the prospective US-China dialogue over Taiwan-related defence arrangements. Across all coverage provided, the central agreed point is Trump’s statement that the issue will be raised directly with Xi, alongside Xi’s preference that such sales not continue.
