U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reaffirms Washington 's opposition to attempts to alter Taiwan ’s status through force or coercion.

Rubio said the best way to prevent a conflict in the Taiwan Strait is to have a strong military capability.

President Donald Trump sidestepped a question about whether he would ensure that “ China will never take Taiwan by force”.

The U.S. will continue to engage with its allies in the Indo-Pacific region , a State Department official says.

The United States remains committed to the security and sovereignty of nations in the region, he says.

He said the Trump administration will work “in lockstep with” allies to achieve it.
