U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington’s policy toward Taiwan is “unchanged” following President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Rubio made the remarks in an interview with NBC News, speaking with Tom Llamas. He characterizes the United States’ approach toward Taiwan as consistent despite the discussions between the two leaders.
The reporting also notes that Xi warned Trump that tensions involving Taiwan could harm U.S.-China relations. Xi’s message highlights the risk that the Taiwan issue could lead to “clashes and even conflicts” if not managed carefully.
Overall, the accounts agree that Rubio confirms no change in U.S. policy after the Trump-Xi meeting, while the Chinese side underscores the potential consequences of mishandling Taiwan-related tensions. The sources provide limited additional details beyond the positions described, focusing on Rubio’s assessment and Xi’s warning.
