Lyle, tell us, in your view, what are the important things to consider a- about the historic context to this?

Yeah.

Well, first, uh, thank you very much, Philip, for having me on.

It's, it's a great pleasure, and I'm sure me, along with Olivia and others, have been busily reading all the readouts and trying to decipher body language and the deliverables, and so happy to talk about those.

But yeah, to your question about the lead up, I mean, first of all, I really do think this was Trump's most important foreign policy summit in his tenure so far.

The relationship with China is probably the most important out of all bilateral relations with the US, so it is hugely consequential for trade, for security.

And as you also mentioned, Philip, the last visit Trump had in 2017 was a very different time in US-China relations.

So help us understand where that leaves Taiwan.
