WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) - Secretary of State Marco Rubio said ‌on Tuesday there has been ‌no change in U.S. policy on Taiwan ​and that Washington wants to see the status quo preserved.

"The most important thing to understand is we ‌want to ⁠see the status quo preserved as-is at this moment. ⁠That's our policy, that's what we've said, that's what we ​continue to ​say," Rubio ​said at a ‌Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.

"It's a very ... delicate relationship to balance, but our policy on Taiwan is not changing," Rubio said.

Last month's ‌summit between U.S. President ​Donald Trump and ​Chinese President ​Xi Jinping in Beijing ‌led to some concern ​in ​Taipei about the U.S. commitment to help the democratically ruled island ​defend ‌itself.
