"The United States relationship with China is very good, and that's also very good for Japan, who is our dear and close ally. Getting along with China is a great thing for China and the U.S. In my opinion, President Xi will be substantially upping his purchase of soybean and other farm products, and anything good for our farmers is good for me."
"The WSJ reported that following Trump's hour-long call with Xi, Trump set up a call with Takaichi and advised her not to provoke Beijing on the question of Taiwan's sovereignty, said Japanese officials and an American briefed on the call. Xi has long had his eye on reclaiming Taiwan as a part of China, an attack many observers have warned would be devastating for both countries and could spiral into a wider conflict."
President Donald Trump called Japan's new prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, after a lengthy, angry call with Chinese President Xi Jinping and urged her not to provoke Beijing over Taiwan's sovereignty. Japanese officials and an American briefed on the call conveyed that Trump advised Takaichi to back away from public statements of support for Taiwan. The White House released a statement in which Trump praised the U.S.-China relationship and predicted substantial increases in Chinese purchases of soybeans and other farm products. The administration is working to restore agricultural exports that stalled after tariffs and to aid affected U.S. farmers. Japan later denied that Trump had advised Takaichi not to provoke China.
