U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reaffirmed America's commitment to Taiwan, stating that the island will not be abandoned during trade talks with China. Speaking while en route to join President Trump in Asia, Rubio aimed to reassure Taiwan amid concerns over potential concessions related to trade negotiations. Chinese President Xi Jinping is pushing for a change in the U.S.'s "One China" policy, which recognizes Taiwan as part of China but maintains relations with it. The U.S., Taiwan's biggest military backer, is set to meet with Xi next week at a regional summit in South Korea, amid strained relationships over trade and human rights issues. President Trump declined to discuss specifics about the U.S.'s stance on Taiwan during his trip preparations.
