Trump ignores U.S.’ ‘six assurances’ to Taiwan

National Review: President Trump, speaking with reporters Monday:

Q: President Xi and your talk with him recently, uh, uh, it warned about sending more weapons to Taiwan. What was your response then? Are you gonna send more weapons to Taiwan?

Trump: Response, I have a response. I’m talking to him about it. We had a good conversation and uh, we’ll make a determination pretty soon. We have a very good relationship with President Xi. In fact, I’ll be going, I guess, in April.

The whole point of the Six Assurances is that the regime running the People’s Republic of China does not get to weigh in on U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, and the U.S. government does not check with the regime in Beijing to make sure that they’re okay with U.S. arms sales to Taiwan…
