Trump said in Ireland on September 13 that he was not worried about Xi Jinping canceling the White House meeting scheduled for September 24 over the issue of arms sales to Taiwan; earlier Kyodo News reported that the Chinese side warned that it would cancel the meeting if the US approved new arms sales to Taiwan before the summit, and Trump said he would hold off on approving an arms sale package to Taiwan totaling $14 billion. Taiwan's foreign minister Lin Chia-lung rebutted the claims, saying they were Beijing's cognitive warfare.
