Trump offered to sell arms to Xi: US ambassador to Fox News

US Ambassador David Perdue revealed President Trump offered to sell arms to Chinese President Xi Jinping during a recent meeting, despite existing US law prohibiting such sales.
The offer was made amidst ongoing US arms sales to Taiwan, which China claims as its territory, a long-standing point of contention between Washington and Beijing.
US officials, including the White House and State Department, later clarified that no arms sales to China were planned or legally permissible, reaffirming the US position.
This incident highlights the complex and sensitive dynamics in US-China relations, particularly concerning Taiwan's defense and sovereignty.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) lifted a nationwide ground stop on airplane departures, which was initiated due to "overloaded" and "outdated" air traffic control communication systems.
The incident, not attributed to a cyberattack, led to hundreds of flights being diverted and significantly disrupted travel plans for thousands of passengers across the U.S.
This marks the first nationwide ground stop since January 2023, underscoring persistent challenges with modernizing the government's aging air traffic control infrastructure.
Airlines anticipate continued disruptions as planes and crews are out of position, preventing an immediate return to normal operations despite the lifted order.
