Trumps team is lying about Taiwan call: It reportedly took months to plan [View all]
Donald Trumps protocol-breaking telephone call with Taiwans leader was an intentionally provocative move that establishes the incoming president as a break with the past, according to interviews with people involved in the planning.
The historic communication the first between leaders of the United States and Taiwan since 1979 was the product of months of quiet preparations and deliberations among Trumps advisers about a new strategy for engagement with Taiwan that began even before he became the Republican presidential nominee, according to people involved in or briefed on the talks.
The call also reflects the views of hard-line advisers urging Trump to take a tough opening line with China, said others familiar with the months of discussion about Taiwan and China.

Lying to other heads of States will get you into trouble。 Trumps habit of lying will unnerve other world leaders。They will not put up with his double face lies。
