The United States should approve the delayed $14 billion arms package for Taiwan

Chinese President Xi Jinping was expected to press President Donald Trump to halt U.S. arms sales and deliveries to Taiwan during their Washington summit. A second American package worth approximately $14 billion remained on hold, but Washington had not agreed to Beijing's reported demand when the summit began.

Taiwan's defence minister said Washington had reassured Taipei that US policy had not changed following the Trump–Xi summit and that arms-sale discussions were continuing. The delayed package, reportedly worth approximately $14 billion, had not been approved.
