Trump Team Downplays Taiwan Phone Call

Donald Trump’s team downplayed the significance of the president-elect’s telephone conversation with President Tsai Ing-wen of Taiwan, with which the United States has had to formal diplomatic ties since 1979.


“This was a courtesy call,” said Vice President-elect Mike Pence Sunday on ABC’s This Week program. “It’s a little mystifying to me that President Obama can reach out to a murdering dictator in Cuba in the last year and be hailed as a hero for doing it, and President-elect Donald Trump takes a courtesy call from the democratically-elected leader in Taiwan and it’s become something of a controversy."
