Trump casually asked Xi if he wanted to buy some US weapons
Because apparently, international arms embargos are just suggestions to some people.
So, the U.S. Ambassador to China, David Perdue, just went on Fox News and let a casual bomb drop. He basically said that Donald Trump, in his infinite wisdom, thought it would be a stellar idea to ask Xi Jinping if he wanted to buy some American military hardware.
Yes, the same China that the U.S. has had a strict weapons embargo against since 1989. The same China that is constantly threatening Taiwan—a place we actually sell weapons to. It’s like offering to sell your security system to the guy trying to break into your neighbor’s garage.
The State Department literally had to clarify that selling weapons to China is illegal, as if they were explaining basic gravity to a toddler. Meanwhile, folks in the foreign policy world are losing their minds, wondering if the concept of 'security threats' has just been tossed into a blender.
Diplomacy is officially just a group chat now, and nobody is checking the rules.
