Xi Jinping Warns President Trump Over Taiwan, Citing Potential for Conflict
President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping met in Beijing, where Xi warned that differences over Taiwan could lead to conflict between the U.S. and China. Taiwan, a self-governing island claimed by China, remains a contentious issue. The U.S. has historically supported Taiwan's defense without formal diplomatic ties, maintaining a policy of strategic ambiguity. During the summit, Xi emphasized Taiwan as the most important issue in China-U.S. relations, urging caution in handling the matter to avoid jeopardizing bilateral stability. The meeting also covered economic cooperation and geopolitical issues, including the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz.
