In a significant diplomatic development, US President Donald Trump revealed that during his first face-to-face meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in six years, Xi assured him that there would be no military attempts to unify Taiwan with mainland China while Trump remains in office. This assurance was made during their meeting in Busan, South Korea, which primarily focused on the contentious issue of US-China trade relations. Trump emphasized that the topic of Taiwan did not arise during their discussions, indicating a potential easing of tensions regarding the self-governed island, which China claims as its territory. The US has historically maintained a policy of strategic ambiguity concerning Taiwan, which complicates its military response to any potential Chinese aggression. The implications of this assurance could influence future US-China relations and regional stability in East Asia.
