US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that Washington has no intention of giving up support for Taiwan in exchange for signing a trade agreement with China. RIA Novosti writes about this. “If people are worried about us doing some kind of trade deal where we get favorable trade terms in exchange for giving up Taiwan, no one is thinking about that,” Rubio told reporters. On October 22, US Trade Representative Jamison Greer said the US can no longer maintain the current trade relationship with China, which has been unfavorable to the US side for the past two decades. During a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on October 20 at the White House, US President Donald Trump expressed hope for a mutually beneficial trade agreement between Washington and Beijing.
