The meeting largely focused on US-China trade tensions.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- --> <\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">list of 3 items<\/span><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">end of list<\/span><\/section>\n<p>Asked on US media outlet CBS\u2019s \u201c60 Minutes\u201d programme whether he would order US forces into action if China moved militarily on Taiwan, Trump demurred.<\/p>\n<p>The US, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, has maintained a policy of \u201cstrategic ambiguity\u201d on Taiwan \u2014 trying not to tip their hands on whether the US would come to the island\u2019s aid in such a scenario.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll find out if it happens, and he understands the answer to that,\u201d said Trump, referring to Xi.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump declined to spell out what he meant in the interview conducted Friday at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, adding: \u201cI can\u2019t give away my secrets. The other side knows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The US president claimed that Xi and those close to him had \u201copenly said\u201d that \u201c\u2018we would never do anything while President Trump is president,\u2019 because they know the consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>US officials have long been concerned about the possibility of China using military force against Taiwan, the self-ruled island democracy claimed by Beijing as part of its territory.<\/p>\n<p>The 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, which has governed US relations with the island, does not require the US to step in militarily if China invades but makes it US policy to ensure Taiwan has the resources to defend itself and to prevent any unilateral change of status by Beijing.<\/p>\n<p>Liu Pengyu, spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Washington, did not respond directly to a query from The Associated Press news agency about whether Trump has received any assurances from Xi or Chinese officials about Taiwan. He insisted in a statement that China \u201cwill never allow any person or force to separate Taiwan from China in any way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Taiwan question is China\u2019s internal affair, and it is the core of China\u2019s core interests. How to resolve the Taiwan question is a matter for the Chinese people ourselves, and only the Chinese people can decide it,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n<p>The White House also did not provide further details about when Xi or Chinese officials have conveyed to Trump that military action on Taiwan was off-the-table for the duration of the Republican\u2019s presidency.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201c60 Minutes\u201d interview marked Trump\u2019s first appearance on the show since he settled a lawsuit this summer with CBS News over its interview with then-Vice-President Kamala Harris. Trump alleged that the interview had been deceptively edited to benefit the Democratic Party before the 2024 election. Trump initially sought $10bn in damages, later raising the claim to $20bn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US president claims Chinese leader has \u2018openly said\u2019 Beijing would never act on Taiwan while Trump\u2019s in the White House \u2018because they know the consequences\u2019.
