Taiwan’s President Lai says he would be happy to speak with Donald Trump

Taiwan’s President William Lai Ching-te stated he would be "happy" to talk to U.S. President Donald Trump, a conversation that could break over four decades of diplomatic protocol. Trump confirmed he would speak to Lai as the White House considered a massive arms sale to Taiwan. Lai emphasized that Taiwan is "committed to maintaining the stable status quo in the Taiwan Strait" and labeled China as the "disruptor of peace and stability."
