Where does Trump stand on Taiwan after China talks?
After two days of talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, President Donald Trump refused to commit to an arms sale with Taiwan in a move that marks a win for China.
Aboard Air Force One, Trump told reporters that he and Xi discussed Taiwan “in great detail” during their meetings but declined to answer directly about whether the US would defend Taiwan in the event of a conflict with China. Trump added that on the arms sale to Taiwan, “I’ll make a determination over the next early short period of time.”
