Xi Warns Trump That U.S, China Could Clash If Taiwan Issue Manhandled

The White House has described the Trump–Xi meeting as “good,” but notably made no mention of Taiwan in its official readout. The omission has drawn attention, as Taiwan remains one of the most sensitive and contested issues in US–China relations. While both sides reportedly discussed broader areas of cooperation and competition, the lack of reference to Taiwan stands out in an otherwise tightly managed diplomatic statement. The meeting reflects ongoing efforts to stabilize relations between Washington and Beijing, even as major strategic disagreements remain unresolved.
