Donald Trump does not commit to arms sale during China visit.A year ago, United States-China relations reached one of their lowest points when Donald Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs.The US president made some concessions when he met his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, a few months later.And the White House yielded more ground in the run-up to Trump’s visit to Beijing this week.It suspended a $14bn arms sale to Taiwan, which China claims as its sovereign territory.But that did not stop Xi from calling Taiwan “the single most important issue” in relations with the US.Could a dispute over the territory lead to conflict between Beijing and Washington?Presenter: Mohammed JamjoomGuests:Ali Wyne – Senior research and advocacy adviser for US-China relations, The International Crisis GroupVictor Gao – Vice president, Center for China and GlobalizationWen-Ti Sung – Nonresident fellow, Atlantic Council’s Global China HubPublished On 15 May 202615 May 2026Click here to share on social mediashare-nodesSharegoogleAdd Al Jazeera on Googleinfo
