Rubio said there was no change in the US position on Taiwan.

The US position on Taiwan has not changed since the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. This was announced on May 14 by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in an interview with NBC News.

He pointed out that China had tried to raise this issue during the negotiations. At the same time, the issue of the island's independence did not occupy a "prominent place" during the discussion.

"We always express our position clearly and move on to other topics," Rubio said.

Trump called his talks with Xi Jinping excellent earlier in the day. At the same time, the head of the White House preferred not to comment on the question of whether the situation around Taiwan was touched upon during the dialogue.

Trump arrived in China on a state visit on May 13. This visit was the first visit by an American leader to China in the last nine years. Later, China Central Television reported that the negotiations had ended.
