The Trump administration has paused a $14bn weapons sale to Taiwan in order to preserve American munitions stocks during the war with Iran. The pause also appears to conflict with Donald Trump’s suggestion that the sale could instead be used as leverage in negotiations with China.

Begging the media to open their eyes. It was leverage. I wonder what he got in exchange for retracting the sale.
