Rome, 19 September (LaPresse) – President Donald Trump refused to approve more than $400 million in military aid to Taiwan this summer as he seeks to negotiate a trade deal and a potential summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. This was revealed by the Washington Post, citing several sources familiar with the matter. The decision, which could still be reversed, marks a shift in US policy toward the autonomous island that China claims as its own territory, according to sources interviewed by the newspaper.
