In Reversal, Trump Commits U.S. to “One China” Policy

HeadlineFeb 10, 2017

Trump reportedly made the commitment during a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping Thursday. The move marks a dramatic reversal for Trump, who previously angered Chinese officials when he broke from decades of diplomatic precedent by speaking directly with Taiwan’s president.
