The U.S. president plans to speak with Taiwan's president in the coming days. The call is expected to address trade, security, and regional stability issues.

Taiwan maintains unofficial relations with the United States through a representative office in Washington. The island's government has sought greater international support amid ongoing tensions with China.

Chinese officials have previously expressed opposition to high-level contacts between U.S. and Taiwan leaders. The upcoming conversation could prompt a response from Beijing. A U.S. official said the call reflects standard diplomatic engagement.
