President Joe Biden says the United States will defend Taiwan militarily if Beijing invades the self-ruled island, warning China against 'flirting with danger'
Biden says he is"considering" lifting some trade tariffs on China, noting they were not imposed by his administration.
He said an effort by China to use force against Taiwan would “just not be appropriate", adding that it “will dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in Ukraine”. “The United States is committed; we made a commitment, we support the one-China policy but that does not mean China has the jurisdiction to use force and take over Taiwan,” Biden said.
Biden also announced that 13 countries had joined a new US-led Asia-Pacific trade initiative touted as a counterweight to China's aggressive expansion in the region.
