China warns it may cancel Trump-Xi meeting over Taiwan arms
China warned the United States it could cancel a planned meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping if Washington approves new arms sales to Taiwan, according to multiple sources, putting a September 24 summit at risk. Beijing has framed Taiwan as a red line, and noted it has not ruled out force, while the U.S. sold an $11 billion package to Taipei in December. The summit agenda would include trade, a proposed $30 billion tariff framework, and an AI safety dialogue, meaning the warning could affect diplomacy, regional security and economic talks.
