Trump-Xi Taiwan Arms Talks Spark Concern in Taipei

  • President Trump revealed discussions with Xi Jinping on potential arms sales to Taiwan, raising alarm in Taipei.
  • Experts suggest Trump's comments may conflict with longstanding U.S. foreign policy and the Six Assurances.
  • The Six Assurances, established in 1982, state the U.S. does not agree to consult China on Taiwan arms sales.
  • Analysts fear Trump is setting a "dangerous precedent" allowing Beijing influence over U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.
  • China views Taiwan as its territory and has condemned past U.S. arms sales, warning against U.S. support for the island.
