‘H-1B visa shouldn’t replace American workers’: JD Vance backs Trump’s visa reforms

US President Donald Trump inquired about China's interest in purchasing American weapons during his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to US Ambassador to China David Perdue. Perdue disclosed this information during an interview, stating that Trump had asked Xi if China would like to buy some American weapons. This statement comes at a time when Taiwan has been waiting for months for the approval of a $14 billion arms sales package.

The proposed sale follows a substantial arms deal disclosed in December 2025. Perdue made these remarks during an interview on US policy towards Taiwan, where the island has been awaiting the approval of the arms package for an extended period. The $14 billion arms deal was initially unveiled in December 2025.
