[Brief] Trump Says He Will Speak to Taiwan's President, Breaking Protocol
Donald Trump has said he will speak with Taiwan’s president, a move that breaks from longstanding U.S. diplomatic protocol. The announcement comes as the U.S. weighs whether to proceed with a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan. China has consistently upheld its one-China principle and opposes any form of official engagement with Taiwan. The statement could further heighten tensions in U.S.-China relations. Source: BBC World
