Taiwan watches US diplomacy with China and Russia to gauge support

During a call with US President Donald Trump on Monday, Chinese leader Xi Jinping reportedly promoted his country's ambition to take control of Taiwan. The call comes amid an escalating diplomatic spat between China and close US ally Japan, as well as a growing discussion of a Trump and Putin-led peace plan for the war in Ukraine. Both issues are being followed closely in Taiwan, which hopes for US support to stay independent from China.
