if mishandled.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump twice made international headlines in mid-May when he indicated that he would have a conversation with Lai before making a decision about selling a new package of defensive military weapons to the democratic self-governed island.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll speak to him,&#8221; Mr. Trump told reporters last week when asked if he&#8217;d speak to Lai before greenlighting the arms sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have to speak to the person that right now is \u2014 you know who he is \u2014 that&#8217;s running Taiwan,&#8221; Mr. Trump said two weeks ago on Air Force One.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No sitting U.S. president has spoken directly with a Taiwanese leader since 1979 due to diplomatic sensitivities in managing relations with China, although in December 2016, while Mr. Trump was president-elect, he received a <span class=\"link\">congratulatory call<\/span> from then-Taiwanese President Tsai Ying-wen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think [Lai], if he has time, would love to tell him our side of the story, the Taiwan story, which is one that \u2014 of resiliency, of a state staying up against the Chinese aggression,&#8221; Alexander Yui, Taiwan&#8217;s Representative to the U.S.,\u00a0<span class=\"link\">told &#8220;Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan&#8221;<\/span>\u00a0on May 17.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan&#8217;s de facto embassy in the U.S. told CBS News this week that it&#8217;s still waiting to hear from the U.S. about a phone call.<\/p>\n<p>A White House official referred CBS News to the president&#8217;s comments.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese Communist Party has long vowed to &#8220;reunify&#8221; the island with the Chinese mainland, and the potential for military force remains a risk. After Mr. Trump&#8217;s mention of a potential phone call, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Beijing opposed any &#8220;official exchanges between the U.S. and China&#8217;s Taiwan region, and the U.S.&#8217;s arms sales to Taiwan is consistent, clear and rock-firm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Mr. Trump&#8217;s two-day visit to Beijing, during which he said he spoke in &#8220;great detail&#8221; to Xi about the weapons sale to Taipei, the president also told Fox News that he planned to hold the weapons &#8220;in abeyance,&#8221; depending on what China did. He suggested arming Taiwan could be a &#8220;negotiating chip&#8221; useful to the U.S., but he did not elaborate.<\/p>\n<p>Under a Reagan-era agreement known as the Six Assurances, the U.S. pledged not to cut off arms sales to Taiwan, and not to consult with Beijing on such sales.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, what am I going to do? Say &#8216;I don&#8217;t want to talk to you about it, because I have an agreement that was signed in 1982?&#8217; No. We discussed arms sales,&#8221; Trump told reporters during the return trip from China.<\/p>\n<p>The last U.S. arms sale to Taiwan, totaling $11 billion, was announced by the administration in December last year. A subsequent\u00a0<span class=\"link\">$14 billion package<\/span> has been under consideration since January but has not yet been greenlit by the State Department and awaits Secretary of State Marco Rubio&#8217;s signature.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao <span class=\"link\">told<\/span> Congress earlier this month that the sale had been <span class=\"link\">put on &#8220;pause&#8221;<\/span> to ensure the U.S. military had sufficient munitions for its operations in Iran. A source familiar with the arms sales later told CBS News that the delay was unrelated to Iran and that the president is expected to make a decision &#8220;soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Taiwan and the United States maintain open and smooth communications as the U.S. government reaffirms that its long-standing policy on Taiwan remains unchanged, and supports the status quo and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait,&#8221; the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO), Taiwan&#8217;s de facto embassy in the U.S., said in a statement to CBS News.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump invited Xi to visit on Sept. 24, the White House announced, though China has not yet accepted the invitation.<\/p>\n<p>Qiu Wenxing, deputy chief of mission and minister at the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C., told reporters Wednesday that while Xi had agreed to visit the U.S. in the fall, &#8220;the date has to be determined,&#8221; and he added that &#8220;favorable conditions have to be created prior to such an important state visit.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While no call with Taipei has been planned, two sources indicated that Mr. Trump always likes to keep options open.\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
