Trump warns Taiwan against declaring independence from China after meeting Xi

US President Donald Trump on Friday warned Taiwan against declaring formal independence after a visit to China, whose leader Xi Jinping had pressed him against US support to the self-ruling island. Trump ended a state visit claiming to have made "fantastic" trade deals, although the details were vague and he did not appear to secure any breakthrough with China over his stalemated war on Iran. Trump invited Xi to pay a reciprocal visit to Washington in September, signalling that both sides will likely seek stability in the often-turbulent relationship between the world's two largest economies.
