Trump reaffirms commitment to one-China policy in Xi call
In his first phone call with President Xi Jinping since taking office last month, US President Donald Trump on Friday reaffirmed Washington’s decades-old one-China policy.
The White House described the call as “lengthy” and “extremely cordial” and said Trump reaffirmed the policy at Xi’s request. “The two leaders discussed numerous topics and President Trump agreed, at the request of President Xi, to honour our one-China policy,” it said.
China Central Television said Trump told Xi he fully respected the importance of the one- China policy and his administration would adhere to the policy – the basis of Sino-US relations since the 1970s – which recognises that Taiwan is part of China.
