Episode Details

Senator Elissa Slotkin warns that President Trumps rush to strike a deal with Xi Jinping during his upcoming Beijing trip could jeopardize decades of careful US policy towards Taiwan. Trumps flip-flopping on China, including easing off top-threat status and approving high-tech chip sales, has left allies fearing he might accidentally pull back American backing for Taiwan, which China sees as its own territory. The US has walked a tightrope, recognizing Taiwan as separate from mainland China without pushing for full independence, since Beijing has threatened war over that. With mixed signals, the big worry is Trump misreading the room and handing China wins that weaken Taiwans position.
