Taiwan, US to sign trade deal in Washington amidst growing pressure from China
The United States and Taiwan are set to sign a trade deal, sparking tensions with Beijing. The agreement aims to streamline customs, enhance regulatory procedures, and strengthen anticorruption measures.
China strongly opposes any diplomatic relations involving Taiwan, which it considers its territory. Beijing’s military drills and aggressive rhetoric towards Taiwan have escalated in recent years.
Bipartisan support for Taiwan exists in the United States, with politicians from both parties publicly engaging with Taiwanese officials.
