Damn, is there anything trump gave in concession then during that meeting? This makes it sound like they can still give taiwan the package and not an outright no.
No side gave anything meaningful in that meeting.
It was a complete nothingburger, which is what everyone expected when the meeting was first raised as a possibility.
So... What's going to happen to all that money ROC already paid?
I figured Trump and co would take the money then play dumb and don't deliver. I didn't expect them to not only not deliver but also spit in their face.
Lai is going to cope some more shit from pan-blue because of this.
Eh, I don't think it was a nothingburger. You could say it was mostly symbolic, but symbolism matters a lot in such a geopolitical age.
I think the perception has shifted from "this is a huge meeting" to "didn't expect much to happen and not much has happened", but eventually in retrospect it may be "that was actually pretty big"
Mostly symbolic is a nothingburger when it involves one side with no strategic discipline. Let’s not overstate how meaningful verbal and symbolic gestures from Trumpworld are, lest we forget that this is the same guy and group who can’t figure out how to get their rooster organ out of the Iranian bear trap they stuck it in.

Taiwan's military sales have always been delayed multiple times and at inflated prices before they can actually get defective weapons, so this one more time won't make a difference.
