A Taiwan trade delegation will continue talks with the United States on tariffs in Washington, four people familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday.

(Reuters) -The U.S. cancelled a meeting with Taiwan's defence minister in June, highlighting concern that President Donald Trump is wary of supporting the island in ways that could harm U.S. relations with China, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.

Taiwans trade delegation is set to continue high-level tariff discussions with the United States in Washington, according to sources familiar with the matter. The talks follow a temporary 90-day suspension of planned U.

The Taiwanese leader canceled U.S. transit visits after being urged to change his plans, two officials said. Washington has been in talks with Beijing over trade and a possible summit.

Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te appeared to call off an overseas trip planned for next week after the Trump administration failed to greenlight his stopover in the US, amid concerns it could derail trade talks with China.
