Rubio says Taiwan should not be concerned about US-China talks
Marco Rubio emphasized the US will maintain support for Taiwan despite Chinese pressure; Taiwan’s security remains a key concern amid trade talks, Rubio said.
- Speaking on his plane Saturday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio rejected abandoning long-standing U.S. support for Taiwan, stressing no one is contemplating such a trade-off en route to join President Donald Trump in Doha.
- Amid trade negotiations, China asked the Trump administration to officially oppose Taiwan's independence, as Chinese President Xi Jinping renewed pressure for a policy change.
- Under longstanding U.S. policy, the United States recognises only Beijing but provides weapons for Taiwan's self-defence, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio framed trade-for-security worries as hypothetical.
- President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next week at the South Korea summit, their first in-person meeting since Trump returned to office, amid mixed signals on Taiwan.
- Taiwan is one of the biggest flashpoints in U.S.-China ties amid disputes over trade, technology transfers and human rights, and talks could shape trade relations between the world's two largest economies.
