US EditionTrump says China's Xi has assured him that he won't take action on Taiwan during Republican's term
Trump claims Xi assured no Chinese military action on Taiwan during his term while their talks centered on trade, with U.S. policy of strategic ambiguity maintained.
- On Oct. 30, 2025 in Busan, President Donald Trump said Xi Jinping `has given him assurances` that Beijing would take no action on Taiwan while he is in office.
- The summit focused on trade, with negotiators prioritizing easing U.S.-China trade tensions, though the Oct. 30, 2025 truce in South Korea remains fragile and senior U.S. officials pressed Trump not to discuss next-generation AI chips.
- When pressed at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said `They'll find out if that happens, and he understands the answer to that` and declined to elaborate, citing `I can't reveal my secrets`, while U.S. policy remains one of `strategic ambiguity` under the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act.
- The Chinese embassy, via Liu Pengyu, said China `will never allow any person or force to separate Taiwan from China in any way` and did not confirm if Trump received assurances from Xi, while the White House provided no further details.
- U.S. officials warn that Taiwan remains a potential flashpoint in the coming years, with its location roughly 100 miles from China’s coast amplifying broader Indo-Pacific security concerns as Beijing advisers hail the meeting as a breakthrough treating China as an equal partner.
