The US, Japan and South Korea have issued a joint statement reaffirming their security and economic ties ahead of a planned summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The statement expressed support for stability in the Taiwan Strait and Taiwan’s participation in international organizations. The move comes amid concerns that Trump could make concessions on Taiwan in exchange for economic agreements with Beijing. Trump is also expected to meet Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae, who will likely urge him to maintain a firm stance toward China.
