View descriptionShare
 

On this episode of White House Briefing Room, Jon Decker reports from Beijing following the second and final day of President Donald Trump’s high-stakes summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The historic meetings focused on escalating tensions over Taiwan, China’s continued purchases of Iranian oil, the future of the Strait of Hormuz, and major U.S.-China trade negotiations.

President Xi issued a stark warning to President Trump over Taiwan, calling the issue the most important flashpoint in U.S.-China relations. Meanwhile, President Trump touted potential new economic agreements involving American oil exports, agriculture purchases, and Boeing aircraft sales, while hinting that even larger trade announcements could still be coming.

Jon also breaks down Marco Rubio’s comments reaffirming America’s Taiwan policy, China’s criticism of the Iran conflict, and the growing pressure in Washington over a proposed $14 billion arms package for Taiwan.
