US President Donald Trump reportedly asked China's president whether he wanted to buy American arms, according to a claim attributed to an ambassador. The remark, framed by critics as desperation amid trade tensions and tariff battles, is drawing commentary on US-China relations, arms sales policy and Washington's economic leverage over Beijing.

Why now: The claim paints an unusual reversal of US-China defence relations during heightened trade conflict, prompting mockery and debate.
