Perdue said Trump had explained to Xi that the United States sells arms around the world, then added: \u201cHe actually asked President Xi, would he like to buy some, at one point.\u201d Perdue did not say when the purported exchange happened or describe Xi\u2019s response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump appeared caught off guard when a reporter raised the account at the White House on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo China? You mean to Taiwan?\u201d the president asked. After the reporter clarified, Trump replied, \u201cI never heard of that one.

We DO\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YYGJp74Ibj\">pic.twitter.com\/YYGJp74Ibj<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EricLDaugh\/status\/2104647539303559283?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 28, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump said China would probably want American equipment because, in his view, the United States makes better weapons. He briefly mused that selling them might be a good idea, but then rejected Perdue\u2019s account: \u201cWe didn\u2019t discuss that.\u201d He suggested Perdue had been referring to Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">State Department Draws a Hard Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The public contradiction followed a blunt response from the State Department. \u201cU.S. law prohibits arms sales to China and there is no offer or plan to sell arms to China,\u201d the department said in a statement to ABC News. A U.S. official separately told the outlet the government had no plans for such a sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal defense export rules list China among countries subject to a policy of denying approvals for defense articles and services. That makes Perdue\u2019s account striking even as Trump insists the conversation never occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perdue\u2019s comment arose from a different, long-running dispute: U.S. weapons sales to Taiwan, the self-governing island China claims as its territory. Fox host Shannon Bream pressed the ambassador about concerns that arms deliveries or approvals for Taiwan had been delayed to avoid angering Beijing. Perdue rejected the suggestion that Trump was abandoning Taiwan, saying the president remained strong on its defense and that the two leaders had discussed future arms sales to the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House\u2019s summary of Xi\u2019s state visit described talks on trade, Iran, strategic stability and trilateral arms control. It did not announce any proposed sale of American weapons to China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, the ambassador\u2019s account and the president\u2019s account remain at odds. Trump said he would ask Perdue about the remark. Neither man has publicly explained what Perdue was referring to, while the State Department says an arms offer to China is off the table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump poured cold water on a remarkable account from his own ambassador to China, saying he never discussed selling American weapons to Chinese President Xi Jinping and suggesting the envoy had confused China with Taiwan.
