Summary
Jeanne Shaheen, the top Senate Democrat on foreign policy, warned Donald Trump not to soften longstanding US policy on Taiwan before his summit with Xi Jinping in Washington this week.
Shaheen said Congress has strong bipartisan backing for the US position on Taiwan, signaling any shift by Trump would face resistance beyond the White House.
She also argued a new US law allowing tariffs on buyers of Russian oil sends Beijing a message ahead of the meeting, linking Taiwan concerns to broader pressure on China.
