Taiwan releases statement in response to Trump comments

Taiwan's foreign affairs ministry has issued a statement in response to President Trump's recent comments on a U.S. arms sale to the island, following his meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The statement underscores the U.S.'s "long-standing and consistent policy toward Taiwan," aiming to reassure Taiwan about America's commitment amid concerns over shifting U.S. stances. This move is crucial as it reflects the delicate balance the U.S. must maintain between its relations with Taiwan and its economic ties with China, which claims Taiwan as its own territory.
