After Mr. Trump&#8217;s mention of a potential phone call, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Beijing opposed any &#8220;official exchanges between the U.S. and China&#8217;s Taiwan region, and the U.S.&#8217;s arms sales to Taiwan is consistent, clear and rock-firm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Mr. Trump&#8217;s two-day visit to Beijing, during which he said he spoke in &#8220;great detail&#8221; to Xi about the weapons sale to Taipei, the president also told Fox News that he planned to hold the weapons &#8220;in abeyance,&#8221; depending on what China did. He suggested arming Taiwan could be a &#8220;negotiating chip&#8221; useful to the U.S., but he did not elaborate.<\/p>\n<p>Under a Reagan-era agreement known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/2021-2025.state.gov\/u-s-relations-with-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Six Assurances<\/a>, the U.S. pledged not to cut off arms sales to Taiwan, and not to consult with Beijing on such sales.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, what am I going to do? Say &#8216;I don&#8217;t want to talk to you about it, because I have an agreement that was signed in 1982?&#8217; No. We discussed arms sales,&#8221; Trump told reporters during the return trip from China.<\/p>\n<p>The last U.S. arms sale to Taiwan, totaling $11 billion, was announced by the administration in December last year. A subsequent\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/lawmakers-press-trump-for-military-support-for-taiwan-after-he-leaves-arms-package-unresolved\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">$14 billion package<\/a><\/span> has been under consideration since January but has not yet been greenlit by the State Department and awaits Secretary of State Marco Rubio&#8217;s signature.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/navy-secretary-says-14-billion-dollar-taiwan-arms-sale-put-on-pause-over-iran-war\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">told<\/a><\/span> Congress earlier this month that the sale had been <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/navy-secretary-says-14-billion-dollar-taiwan-arms-sale-put-on-pause-over-iran-war\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">put on &#8220;pause&#8221;<\/a><\/span> to ensure the U.S. military had sufficient munitions for its operations in Iran. A source familiar with the arms sales later told CBS News that the delay was unrelated to Iran and that the president is expected to make a decision &#8220;soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Taiwan and the United States maintain open and smooth communications as the U.S. government reaffirms that its long-standing policy on Taiwan remains unchanged, and supports the status quo and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait,&#8221; the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO), Taiwan&#8217;s de facto embassy in the U.S., said in a statement to CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump invited Xi to visit on Sept. 24, the White House announced, though China has not yet accepted the invitation.<\/p>\n<p>Qiu Wenxing, deputy chief of mission and minister at the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., told reporters Wednesday that while Xi had agreed to visit the U.S. in the fall, &#8220;the date has to be determined,&#8221; and he added that &#8220;favorable conditions have to be created prior to such an important state visit.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While no call with Taipei has been planned, two sources indicated that Mr. Trump always likes to keep options open.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation
