President Donald Trump gave a surprising answer when asked about defending Taiwan from a Chinese takeover during his first Cabinet meeting. Trump stated that he would not comment on the matter and did not want to put himself in that position. This comes as China's military announced 'live-fire' exercises near Taiwan, causing concern for regional security and stability. Despite this, Trump insists on having a good relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping and hopes to host him in the U.S. in the future.
