Trump's Taiwan Silence: A Calculated Gamble or a Lost Opportunity? The US China summit last week was notable for what it didn't discuss: Taiwan's future.
While President Donald Trump did mention Taiwan in passing, his words were vague and seemed more like a gentle warning than a clear statement of intent.
Trump's comments on Taiwan sparked concerns that the administration is caving in to Chinese pressure. Beijing's readout of the meeting emphasized cooperation, conveniently omitting any mention of Taiwan.
