Relations With US ‘Rock Solid,’ Taiwan’s President Said After Trump–Xi Call

Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te said on Feb. 5 that Taipei has a strong relationship with Washington, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping about topics including the democratically governed island.

"The Taiwan–U.S. relationship is rock solid, and all cooperation projects will continue uninterrupted," Lai told reporters during a visit to a textiles merchant in western Taiwan.

On Feb. 4, Trump said he had a "long and thorough call" with Xi, discussing several subjects with the CCP leader, including Taiwan, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and "the current situation with Iran." Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that discussions were "all very positive."

The U.S. president described his relationship with Xi as “extremely good” and said, “We both realize how important it is to keep it that way.”

Trump also repeated that he would be meeting with Xi in China in April. Trump announced plans for the visit on Jan. 22 and said that the CCP leader would visit the United States toward the end of the year.

According to a readout of the Feb. 4 phone call published on China’s foreign ministry website, Xi reiterated the Chinese regime's territorial claim on Taiwan and said that the United States should handle the issue of selling arms to Taipei "with prudence."

Beijing considers the democratic, self-governing nation of Taiwan its own territory, and the communist regime has not ruled out taking control of the island by force. Taipei rejects Beijing’s territorial claim.
