Trump keeps the door open to a call with Taiwan's president even though China has warned against it

President Donald Trump has indicated he may still call Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te despite China's warnings against direct engagement. The potential call, which would be the first between sitting U.S. and Taiwanese presidents in decades, is linked to a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan approved by Congress. China has urged Trump to avoid actions that could strain U.S.-China relations.
