President Trump returned to the White House after a summit in Beijing with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Xi warned that Taiwan could lead to "clashes" between the US and China, calling it a "highly dangerous situation" for the world's biggest economies. Trump must now decide whether to approve a $14 billion US arms sale to Taiwan, which could unleash a bipartisan backlash in Washington or face Beijing's wrath if the deal is approved.

The Long Island Rail Road, the nation’s busiest commuter line, suspended service for the first time in more than 30 years after labor groups and transit officials failed to reach a deal on wage increases by a Friday night deadline. About 3,500 engineers, electrical workers and signalmen walked off the job Saturday for the first time since 1994.

On today’s show, Bloomberg This Weekend hosts David Gura, Christina Ruffini, and Lisa Mateo speak with:

- Bloomberg News Chief North Asia Correspondent Stephen Engle and White House Correspondent Courtney Subramanian, on President Trump saying that Taiwan was the most important issue coming out of the summit.

- Bloomberg News Reporter Michelle Kaske on the Long Island Rail Road suspending service and the state of the negotiations.

- Fortesa Latifi, Journalist & Author of “Like, Follow, Subscribe: Influencer Kids and the Cost of a Childhood Online” on why some are concerned about the growing industry of child influencers.

Plus, Bloomberg News Senior Executive Editor Dave Merritt joins to play Pointed: The News Quiz for Risk Takers.
