President Trump takes questions from White House Press Corps while flying home from China Summit

President Donald Trump wrapped up critical talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday, claiming progress had been made in stabilizing U.S.-China relations amid tensions over Taiwan, the war in Iran and trade.

Before boarding Air Force One, Trump said he had not decided whether a major U.S. arms sale to Taiwan would move forward, adding, “I will make a determination.”

Xi warned Trump on Thursday of potential “clashes and conflicts” over Taiwan if the U.S.’s $11 billion arms package to the island is not handled properly. The White House announced the deal in December but has yet to begin fulfilling it.

Trump said Xi reiterated China’s opposition to Taiwanese independence. “I heard him out,” Trump said. “I didn’t make a comment.”
