On May 21, Presidential Secretary-General Pan Men-an stated at the legislature that there has been no notification of a potential phone call between former U.S. President Donald Trump and President Lai Ching-te. He emphasized that communication channels between Taiwan and the U.S. are "unobstructed." Pan cited U.S. affirmations that its Taiwan policy remains unchanged, it is committed to the cross-strait status quo, and military procurement is discussed only with Taiwan. When asked how Taiwan would host Trump if he called, Pan lightheartedly replied, "Bubble tea and stinky tofu are both fine," signaling Taiwan's composed stance.
