Chris McGuire(@ChrisRMcGuire):The administration needs to clarify this extremely damaging statement by the President right away. US policy has long been that we do not negotiate Taiwan arms sales with China. The administration cannot simultaneously claim that there has been no change to US policy over Taiwan, and that weapons sales to Taiwan are now a negotiating chip in discussions with China. Every single Democrat and Republican on Capitol Hill should press the White House on what the President meant by this, and urge them to finalize the sales. If President Biden had ever said this, Congressional Republicans would have lost their minds. I hope they’re making their voice heard now too.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼 Fox's Bret Baier: “President Xi probably liked that you haven't approved the weapons for Taiwan?” Trump: “I would say ‘like’ is too strong of a word... It's a very good negotiating chip for us, frankly”
