Trump asked China's president if he wants to buy US arms, ambassador says
US President Donald Trump asked China's president whether he would be interested in buying American arms, according to comments attributed to an ambassador. The unusual, informal sales pitch to a strategic rival has drawn attention given Washington's restrictions on arms exports to China and the two countries' ongoing trade and security tensions.
Why now: The reported remark is a strikingly unconventional approach to US-China relations, combining arms sales with a country subject to export limits.
