Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has canceled a planned overseas trip after the Trump administration denied his request to stop over in New York, reportedly due to pressure from China and ongoing US-China trade negotiations. The move has drawn criticism from US lawmakers and observers, who argue it signals US deference to Beijing and undermines Taiwan’s international standing. Official statements from Taiwan’s government insist the trip was postponed for domestic reasons, but multiple reports link the decision directly to US-China diplomatic sensitivities. The incident has fueled debate over US commitment to Taiwan and the broader implications for US-China relations. The controversy comes as President Trump seeks a summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, highlighting Taiwan’s precarious position in global geopolitics.
