White House Concerned About Trump’s Comments on Taiwan Before Xi Meeting

Ahead of a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, some of President Trump’s aides are cautioning against altering the U.S. stance on Taiwan’s independence to favor China, fearing any shift could undermine long-standing policies. Concerns are growing that Trump may publicly oppose Taiwan’s independence, which would be perceived as a significant concession to Beijing and could destabilize U.S.-Taiwan relations.
