Ahead of the visit, much digital ink has been spilled trying to predict what the two leaders will discuss. Deservedly taking the spotlight are AI and its “shared risks ,” Chinese EVs’ access to the U.S. market, and the fate of the trade truce negotiated at Busan last year. But rather than forecasting exactly what might happen, a…Open

How has Trump's approach to Taiwan changed compared to his first term?
Trump has adopted a policy of "strategic ambiguity," avoiding the erraticism of his predecessor. For example, between September 2024 and February 2026, he did not mention Taiwan in his social media posts. When he does speak of it, he avoids specifics; in a November 2025 interview with Norah O'Donnell on 60 Minutes, when asked if he would order U.S. forces to defend Taiwan, he replied, “You’ll find out if it happens.”

Nothing could be more trivial than catching missing commas in my…Open
