중국 당국자들은 도널드 트럼프 대통령의 최근 방중 기간 동안 미국 측에 대만으로의 무기 인도 규모를 줄일 것을 압박했다. 이러한 요구는 이미 올해 초부터 제기된 것으로 알려졌다.
도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령은 이달 초 베이징 방문을 마치고 돌아오며 이번 순방을 역사적인 돌파구라고 평가했다. 그는 합의된 무역 협정과 시진핑 중국 국가주석과의 긴밀한 관계를 강조했다.
방문 기간 중 중국은 대만 문제에 대한 양보를 모색했다. 중국 측 당국자들은 올해 초부터 이 문제를 제기했으며, 워싱턴에 이번 방문 전후로 대만에 대한 모든 무기 판매 승인을 중단할 것을 요청했다.
소식통들에 따르면 중국은 트럼프 2기 행정부에서 승인된 무기 패키지의 규모에 집중했다. 중국 당국은 조 바이든 전 대통령 재임 시절의 소규모 승인 방식을 선호하며, 대규모 무기 인도 추세를 멈추고자 했다.

Reuters reported on Friday that a US$14 billion arms package to Taiwan, possibly the largest ever, is ready for US President Donald Trump's approval and could be announced after his visit to Beijing. Despite the delay in the Trump-Xi summit, Taiwan's Defence Minister Wellington Koo Li-hsiung reassured on Tuesday that Taipei had received no indication of any sales delay.
