SpaceWar.com reports: “US President Donald Trump said Monday he would decide soon on whether to send more weapons to Taiwan, after Chinese President Xi Jinping warned him not to do so.
‘I’m talking to him about it. We had a good conversation, and we’ll make a determination pretty soon,’ Trump said, adding that he has a ‘good relationship’ with the Chinese leader, whose country claims the self-ruled island of Taiwan as its territory.
In a phone call with Trump on February 4, Xi called for ‘mutual respect’ in relations with the United States, while warning Washington about arms sales to the democratically run island.

Trump and Xi are due to meet in Beijing in April…”
