In a move that is likely to heighten tensions in the Asia-Pacific region, US President Donald Trump has revealed that he discussed a contentious issue with Chinese leader Xi Jinping: the sale of American arms to Taiwan. The sensitive topic has long been a point of contention between the US and China, with Beijing viewing any such sales as a threat to its sovereignty and a breach of the One China policy. Trump's comments, made during a recent meeting with Xi, suggest that the US may be willing to push back against China's long-standing objections to US arms sales to the island nation. The implications of this development could have far-reaching consequences for the delicate balance of power in the region.
