BEIJING (AP) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio said U.S. policy toward Taiwan is “unchanged” after President Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping but warned it would be “a terrible mistake” for China to take Taiwan by force.

Rubio made the remarks in an interview with NBC News while traveling with the president on his trip to China.

He sidestepped Xi’s warning that differences over the self-governing island could lead to a clash, and said that China always raises the issue of Taiwan in talks.
