TAIPEI: Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen took to Twitter on Saturday to congratulate U. S. President Donald Trump on his inauguration in a move likely to draw objections from China, already angry with a protocol-breaking phone call a month ago between the two leaders.
« Congratulations @realDonaldTrump. Democracy is what ties Taiwan and the US together. Look forward to advancing our friendship & partnership, » Tsai tweeted just minutes after Trump took his oath of office.
Tsai also vowed to deepen the island’s ties with the United States, which she said was Taiwan’s « most important international ally » and which shared common values of freedom, democracy and human rights, according to a statement by her office.
