This meeting became the highest ranking public official meeting in the history of the US-Taiwan relationship. The conversation focused on the world economy and trade topics. Pence mentioned after the meeting that he will bring back Chang’s suggestion of establishing a US-Taiwan free trade agreement to Present Trump. There have been rumors of a meeting between Chinese President Xi and U.S. Vice President Pence. However, that didn’t materialize.
