Taiwan has emerged as the central issue for the upcoming summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Beijing is expected to press Washington to curb arms sales and political support for Taipei, framing the matter as a non‑negotiable sovereignty concern. U.S. officials, however, signal that Taiwan remains a cornerstone of their Indo‑Pacific strategy, setting the stage for a tense dialogue. The summit underscores the deepening rivalry between the two powers, with Taiwan positioned as both a flashpoint and a test of diplomatic maneuvering amid broader disputes over trade, technology, and regional security.
