Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has postponed a planned diplomatic trip to Latin America after the Trump administration reportedly denied his request to stop over in New York, following pressure from China.

The decision has drawn criticism from US lawmakers and former officials, who argue it signals US deference to Beijing and could embolden China in its stance toward Taiwan.
