Original: Trump asked Xi Jinping if China would like to buy US weapons, American ambassador says

Donald Trump asked Xi Jinping whether China would be interested in purchasing American weapons, according to the US ambassador. The remark, reported by the Guardian, suggests the US president floated arms sales to Beijing during discussions, an unusual move given US restrictions and strategic rivalry with China.
