Then he got on his plane home and unloaded.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s trip was unexpectedly dominated by discussions about Taiwan and the notion that Washington and Beijing could adopt a new framework for managing their complicated relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese President Xi Jinping kicked off the whirlwind visit with a warning: If Washington mishandles its relations with the self-governing island of Taiwan, the U.S. and China could end up clashing or even in open conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Trump did not respond publicly, refraining from mentioning Taiwan while in Beijing. But he suggested aboard Air Force One on his way home that Xi\u2019s staunch opposition might make him rethink a planned U.S. arms sale to Taipei.<\/p>\n<p>Among the other topics of discussion were trade and the U.S. and Israel\u2019s war in Iran, which had been expected to take up most of the attention. Trump spent the trip overtly flattering China\u2019s leader, despite Xi not reciprocating.<\/p>\n<p>And the president did not push back publicly on China\u2019s characterization that he and Xi had agreed to a \u201cconstructive\u201d new vision for dealing with their relationship issues.<\/p>\n<div><ul><div><div><li><div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Donald Trump speaks to reporters aboard Air Force One\" class=\"wp-image-6702\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/c7102ff7edb5b1be1f6bbf62473bf891-1024x683.webp\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/c7102ff7edb5b1be1f6bbf62473bf891-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/c7102ff7edb5b1be1f6bbf62473bf891-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/c7102ff7edb5b1be1f6bbf62473bf891-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/c7102ff7edb5b1be1f6bbf62473bf891-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/c7102ff7edb5b1be1f6bbf62473bf891.webp 1860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<div>President Donald Trump speaks to reporters aboard Air Force One, Friday, May 15, 2026, as he returns from a trip to Beijing, China.

(AP Photo\/Mark Schiefelbein)\n<\/div><span>Expand<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Here are key takeaways from Trump\u2019s trip:<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>Trump held his tongue on Taiwan \u2014 until he was headed home<\/h4>\n<p>Before the trip, Trump demonstrated greater ambivalence toward Taiwan in his second term, raising questions about whether he might be open to dialing back support for the island democracy that Beijing views as its breakaway province.<\/p>\n<p>Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted there was no change in the U.S. approach to Taiwan. But there was always a risk that Trump \u2014 not known for diplomatic nuance \u2014 might make an off-the-cuff remark that could have mammoth ramifications for Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Trump said nothing publicly about Taiwan, even as his Chinese counterpart suggested the island was the most important aspect of U.S.-China relations.<\/p>\n<p>But then, pressed by reporters after leaving China, Trump said he had not yet made a decision on whether to carry through with a major arms package sale he previously approved for Taiwan after hearing Xi\u2019s objections.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Trump\u2019s Republican administration in December authorized an $11 billion weapons package for Taipei, but it has yet to move forward. Lawmakers also approved a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan in January, but the sale cannot advance until Trump formally sends it to Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Xi and I talked a lot about Taiwan,\u201d Trump told reporters on the presidential plane. He said China\u2019s leader \u201cdoes not want to see a fight for independence because that would be a very strong confrontation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard him out,\u201d Trump said. But \u201cI didn\u2019t make a comment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span><iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"youtube-player\" height=\"360\" loading=\"lazy\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZOlItZe_gaU?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" style=\"border:0;\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Trump appeared to struggle to recall the name of Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te and noted of Washington\u2019s policy toward the island, \u201cThe last thing we need right now is a war that\u2019s 9,500 miles away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he would consider intervening militarily if China were to attack Taiwan, Trump said he did not want to say \u2014 a nonanswer that is consistent with long-standing U.S. policy that has become known as strategic ambiguity.<\/p>\n<p>The policy says the U.S. has agreed to ensure Taiwan has the resources to defend itself if China attempts to force a unilateral change, but it does not expressly say how far Washington will go militarily to counter Beijing, should it come to that.<\/p>\n<h4>Trump and Xi still talked about Iran<\/h4>\n<p>It appears the leaders had substantive talks about the U.S.-spurred conflict in Iran that has led to a surge in global oil prices and that \u2014 if extended \u2014 could push the world toward recession.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said Xi agrees with him that a nuclear-armed Iran is a bad idea and that the Strait of Hormuz must be reopened. He said Xi even offered to help find an endgame to the war.<\/p>\n<p>Xi and Chinese officials have not confirmed that such an offer was made. China has publicly said the solution should \u201ctake into account the concerns of all parties on the Iran nuclear issue.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=6698\">Justice Department to seek death penalty for man charged with killing 2 Israeli Embassy staffers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In Trump\u2019s view, China should be more involved in the resolution to the conflict, given its dependence on oil and liquefied natural gas coming from the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump successfully persuaded Xi to get more engaged, that could be significant for the U.S. effort to find a credible exit from the Iran war.<\/p>\n<p><span><iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"youtube-player\" height=\"360\" loading=\"lazy\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mrp3DRL7io0?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" style=\"border:0;\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Xi hailed a new relationship status: strategic stability<\/h4>\n<p>China, meanwhile, said the two leaders agreed to a new vision for \u201ca constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese Foreign Ministry said the framework would shape ties for at least three years \u2014 the rest of Trump\u2019s term \u2014 and focus on cooperation, competition within limits and managing differences.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is \u201cto keep the relationship on an even keel,\u201d said Helena Legarda of the Mercator Institute for China Studies in Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>George Chen, a partner at The Asia Group consultancy, said the approach can be seen as progress following the era of Trump\u2019s Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, when the relationship was framed as a strategic competition.<\/p>\n<h4>Trump says big trade deals are coming but offers few details<\/h4>\n<p>Trump brought a large group of top CEOs with him to China, including the head of aircraft maker Boeing; Jensen Huang, chief of semiconductor giant Nvidia; and Elon Musk, the SpaceX boss who once led Trump\u2019s effort to slash the federal workforce.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said major deals had been struck and that China could buy some 200 planes from Boeing, but he left Beijing without announcing anything concrete. Previous suggestions that Xi would commit to big orders of U.S. soybeans and beef were also pending.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump suggested that China could eventually buy as many as 750 planes from Boeing if the initial order goes well, and that 450 engines produced by General Electric would be included in such a future purchase if it happens.<\/p>\n<p>More details on trade agreements might emerge eventually, but as with all major bilateral accords, the fine print is what matters.<\/p>\n<p>During his first term, Trump used an elaborate signing ceremony before leaving Beijing to cement dozens of deals worth around $250 billion. But not all of what was pledged came to fruition.<\/p>\n<h4>Trump repeatedly praised Xi<\/h4>\n<p>From the moment Trump opened his mouth in Beijing, he offered nothing but praise for Xi. And it sometimes felt a bit over the top, considering that Xi said nothing similar in return.<\/p>\n<p>Trump called Xi a \u201cgreat leader\u201d and said they were going to have a \u201cfantastic future together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was an \u201chonor\u201d to be with Xi and to be his friend, Trump said, describing his counterpart as \u201cwarm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s president isn\u2019t known for effusiveness. Trump himself said in a Fox News interview that Xi is \u201call business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Xi did say Trump\u2019s \u201clandmark visit\u201d had deepened mutual trust. But he found more subtle ways to charm Trump. He promised to send seeds to grow roses at the White House like the ones in the garden at Xi\u2019s residence where Trump had tea on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Xi said he hosted Trump there to reciprocate the hospitality Trump showed him when he visited Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in 2017.<\/p>\n<p><em>Leung reported from Hong Kong, Mistreanu and Wu from Bangkok, and Superville from Washington.<\/em><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=6696\">Woman shot, killed in Tustin; police looking for man, dark-colored car<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s three-day trip to China was unexpectedly dominated by discussions about Taiwan and a new framework for managing Washington and Beijing&#8217;s complicated relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6701,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-facts","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
