U.S. President Donald Trump says he will raise two issues when he meets China’s President Xi Jinping in Beijing this week: proposed U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and the imprisonment of Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai. According to reports from India’s Mint and CNBC, Trump states that these topics will be on the agenda ahead of the summit.
The reporting indicates that Trump plans to bring up Taiwan-related defence cooperation through potential arms sales, framing it as part of broader discussions with China. Separately, Trump says he will also address Jimmy Lai’s case, which involves a 20-year imprisonment, describing it as a key matter he intends to discuss during the meeting.
Both sources present the information as Trump’s own description of what he plans to cover with Xi during the scheduled visit, without detailing any confirmed outcomes, new policy decisions, or additional agenda items from China or other U.S. officials.
