President Donald Trump on Monday denied offering to sell U.S. arms to China, after U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue said Trump had asked Chinese President Xi Jinping whether he would “like to buy some.”
Perdue’s remarks prompted questions about whether the United States could alter its posture toward China, according to The Hill. Trump’s denial directly contradicted the ambassador’s account of the exchange with Xi.
