Trump’s reported snub of Taiwan president spurs concerns over deference to China
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Trump administration is reportedly blocking Taiwan’s president from stopping over in New York City, en route to a diplomatic meeting in Central America, following pressure from China.
The Financial Times reported Monday that the administration has denied Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te the opportunity to stop over in New York City during a planned trip to Paraguay, Guatemala and Belize — all countries that recognize Taiwan as its own independent country.
However, on Monday, the office of the president in Taiwan released a statement indicating that Lai «currently has no plans to go on an overseas visit,» according to Taiwan-state media. A source familiar with the matter at the State Department confirmed that no formal travel plans for President Lai have been announced.

«In consideration of the ongoing rehabilitation efforts in southern Taiwan following a recent typhoon and regional developments including the United States’ tariffs, the president currently has no plans to go on an overseas visit,» the statement from President Lai said.
According to the Financial Times, which spoke with unnamed sources said to be intimately familiar with the alleged trip, Lai’s decision not to travel came after he was informed that he would not be able to stop in New York City on his way to Central America.
Lai’s trip was also reportedly supposed to include a stop in Dallas, but it is unclear if the Trump administration was also planning to bar Lai from stopping there as well, according to the Financial Times.
PILLSBURY: TRUMP TO HOLD ‘TENSE’ TRADE TALKS WITH CHINA

The White House did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. However, a State Department source familiar with the matter indicated that the Trump administration continues to be committed to the government’s long-standing one China policy, rooted in the Taiwan Relations Act, joint diplomatic agreements with China and longstanding pledges crafted by the government in regard to Taiwan and China.
Despite being in line with longstanding government policy, the move still garnered criticism from some Asia policy experts and critics of Trump.
Lyle Morris, a senior fellow on foreign policy and national security at the Asia Society’s Center for China Analysis, said the «first concrete move» under Trump’s second term regarding Taiwan is «a cause for concern.»
«The assumption is this decision was made in the context of ongoing US-China trade negotiations and a possible Trump-Xi meeting,» Morris said on X. «Still, not a good sign for enduring US-Taiwan relations.»

«Denying President Lai a transit is a deeply concerning break with bipartisan precedent and sends a reckless signal to Beijing that our partnership with Taiwan is on the negotiating table,» added Democrat Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., in a post on X following the news about President Lai’s alleged travel.
«American leadership is now seen as deeply unreliable, with Trump’s fits and starts with Ukraine, NATO allies, and other key partners. I urge President Trump to reverse course and do what presidents of both parties have done and allow a transit, and ask my colleagues in Congress to join me in that call.»
News of the Trump administration’s decision to prohibit the Taiwanese president from stopping in New York City comes as the president is reportedly feeling out a potential trip to Beijing himself, alongside major U.S. CEOs. Nothing so far has been set in stone regarding Trump’s trip, however.

Trump boasts he ‘stopped about five wars’ while opening new Scotland golf course, vows to work with Netanyahu
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump touted his foreign policy achievements while visiting his newest Scottish golf course on Tuesday, a day after appearing to break with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stance on food supply to Gaza.
The president appeared before reporters at Trump International Golf Links near Aberdeen, Scotland, where he and his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, opened a new golf course on Tuesday.
«I look forward to playing it today. We’ll play it very quickly. And then I go back to D.C., and we put out fires all over the world,» Trump said before cutting the ribbon opening the new course in the village of Balmedie on Scotland’s northern coast.
«We did one yesterday. You know, we stopped the war, but we stopped about five wars,» Trump said. «So that’s much more important than playing golf. As much as I like, it’s much more important.»
«It’s going to be a special year, and it’s going to be a special decade. And we’re going to make all of our countries strong and great and really wonderful again,» Trump added. «And that’s happening, and it’s happening very fast.»
EX-ISRAELI OFFICIAL OFFERS BOLD 2-PRONGED STRATEGY AS ‘THE ONLY WAY’ TO FREE HOSTAGES FROM HAMAS

Amid U.S. pressure, Thailand and Cambodia reached a ceasefire agreement. The Trump administration has also claimed responsibility for stopping a nuclear escalation between India and Pakistan, averting conflict between Serbia and Kosovo and diffusing violence between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa. Earlier this year, Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen agreed to a ceasefire following U.S.-U.K. strikes.
In late June, Trump ordered U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and infrastructure, which he claimed ended the Israel-Iran conflict in just 12 days, preventing greater loss of life.
Meanwhile, the U.S. and Israel pulled their negotiators from ceasefire talks in Doha, Qatar, last week. Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, said Hamas did not appear to be «coordinated or acting in good faith» to reach an agreement to return the remaining hostages taken in the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel or to «create a more stable environment for the people of Gaza.»
As the opening ceremony closed Tuesday, a reporter shouted a question at Trump, asking what the president would say next to Netanyahu.
«We’re working together to try to get things straightened out for the world,» Trump said.
Trump on Monday held a bilateral meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at another of his golf courses, Trump Turnberry in Girvan, Scotland. When reporters asked if he agreed with Netanyahu’s recent remarks about concerns of mass starvation in Gaza being overstated, he replied, «I don’t know. I mean, based on television, I would say not particularly, because those children look very hungry.»

Trump has also insisted the U.S. did not receive enough credit for the aid already provided to Gaza, which Hamas terrorists control.
The president is capping a five-day foreign trip designed around promoting his family’s luxury properties and playing golf.
TRUMP PRAISES STARMER ON TURNING AROUND MIGRANT BOATS: ‘FANTASTIC THING’
Trump used his trip to meet with Starmer and reach a trade framework for tariffs between the U.S. and the European Union’s 27 member countries – though scores of key details remain to be hammered out.
«We just signed a very big deal, as you know, with the European Union, but also with the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom was a week before, and it’s a very big deal and a great deal for the country. And it’s a great deal for everybody,» Trump said Tuesday.
Trump had invited Starmer, who famously does not golf, aboard Air Force One so that the prime minister could get a private tour of his Aberdeen properties before Tuesday’s ceremonial opening.
Billing itself the «Greatest 36 Holes in Golf,» the Trump International Golf Links, Scotland, was designed by Eric Trump. The course is hosting a PGA Seniors Championship event later this week, after Trump leaves.
«These are very hard to build, and you won’t see them built anymore. You’ll probably never see another course built in the dunes, not dunes like this,» Trump said of the course on Tuesday.
The new golf course will be the third owned by the Trump Organization in Scotland. Trump bought Turnberry in 2014 and owns another course near Aberdeen that opened in 2012.

Trump honored Sarah Malone, the Executive Vice President of Trump International Golf Links Scotland, during Tuesday’s opening ceremony. Eric Trump said Malone «has truly become a member of our family» after 16 years overseeing the properties.
The president’s late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland’s north and immigrated to New York. She died in 2000 at age 88.
«We love Scotland. You know, my mother was born here and she loved it. She would come back here religiously once a year during the summers with my sister Marianne, and sometimes my sister Elizabeth. But they would come here religiously,» Trump said Tuesday. «Stornoway. That’s serious Scotland, by the way.»
The president also thanked his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, who was on the new course with him Tuesday, for the work she did leading the Republican Party during the 2024 presidential election.
