US President Donald Trump has declined to say whether his administration would move to defend Taiwan against any possible mainland Chinese attack.
In comments made on February 26, 2025, Trump also touted his “great relationship” with Chinese President Xi Jinping. But US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has suggested in an interview with Fox News, that Washington is committed to “prevent” such an attack from happening. Trump was responding to a question from a journalist who asked what his administration’s response would be if mainland China were to attack the self-ruled island.
