Trump Warns Japan against Provoking China on Taiwan Issue

US President Donald Trump called Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi this week and advised her not to provoke Beijing on the question of Taiwan's sovereignty, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing Japanese officials and an American briefed on the call.

Trump spoke with Takaichi after Chinese President Xi Jinping called the US president and spoke about China's historic claim to the democratic self-governing island as well as Washington and Beijing's joint responsibility to manage the world order, the Journal said.
