Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to push President Donald Trump to halt U.S. arms sales to Taiwan when the two leaders meet in Washington this week, putting one of the most contentious issues in U.S.-China relations back at the center of their talks.
Beijing is expected to cite a 1982 joint communiqué in making its case, three people familiar with discussions ahead of the summit told Reuters. Xi arrives in Washington on Wednesday, with formal talks scheduled for Thursday.
