Trump waffles on Taiwan arms deal after Xi talks - Axios
Overview
After meeting with Xi Jinping, President Trump publicly expressed uncertainty about a proposed $14 billion arms package, saying 'the last thing we need right now is a war that's 9,500 miles away.' His comments signaled a possible short‑term softening of U.S. public posture and prompted Taiwan to push back, affirming its sovereignty. Subsequently, trade representative Jamieson Greer sought to walk back the remark, saying Trump is 'considering' how to proceed and stressing the need for a stable U.S.-China relationship.
