Trump Leaves Taiwan Arms Deal Decision Hanging After China Visit

President Donald Trump offered no clarity on U.S. policy toward Taiwan following his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, saying he made no commitments regarding the disputed island. Trump indicated he would soon decide on a $14 billion weapons package for Taiwan. The summit produced a major commercial win for U.S. manufacturers, with China agreeing to purchase over 200 Boeing planes. However, the meeting left several issues unresolved, including the status of the Taiwan arms sale and other bilateral sticking points. Both leaders characterized the talks as significant, though their public statements diverged on key details.
