President Trump and Xi Jinping concluded a high-stakes summit in Beijing where they reportedly discussed a strategic trade involving Taiwan and Middle East stability.
Trump surprised observers by stating the U.S. no longer supports Taiwan’s independence, signaling a potential shift in long-standing security guarantees. Experts suggest the deal involves China pressuring Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open in exchange for reduced U.S. military support for Taiwan. While Trump highlighted "fantastic trade deals," he conspicuously refused to promise future weapons sales to the island nation.
Global allies are now waiting to see if this rhetoric translates into a formal rollback of the Taiwan Relations Act.
