Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has postponed a planned overseas trip after the Trump administration denied his request to stop over in New York, reportedly due to pressure from China as US–China trade negotiations intensify.

The incident highlights the delicate balance the US faces between supporting Taiwan and managing its critical relationship with China.
