President Donald Trump privately told the prime minister of Japan to back off its aggressive stance against China invading Taiwan, reported the Wall Street Journal — a move that blindsided an allied leader whom Trump generally praises for hawkishness.
"Days after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi outraged China by suggesting a Chinese attack on Taiwan could mobilize a Tokyo military response, Xi spent half of an hourlong phone call with Trump, people briefed on the matter said, hammering home China’s historic claim to the democratic self-governing island as well as Washington and Beijing’s joint responsibility to manage the world order," said the report.
Then, the same day, 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."
