February 17, New Delhi – US President Donald Trump will soon decide whether to send more weapons to Taiwan, following a warning from Chinese President Xi Jinping.
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 Taiwan.
The United States approved $11 billion worth of arms for Taiwan in December.
Shortly thereafter, China launched major live-fire drills to simulate a blockade around Taiwan's key ports.
