Speaking to Fox News Sunday, the President-elect suggested concessions may be needed in order to continue adhering to the policy...

Boris smooths over "proxy war" comments during Saudi visit

Britain's Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has won support from his Saudi Arabian counterpart following a visit to the country just days after video appeared of Mr Johnson accusing the Saudis of "playing proxy wars" in the Middle East.

Following talks, Saudi Foreign Affairs Minister Adel Jubeir said Mr Johnson's comments had been misconstrued and that Saudi Arabia enjoyed a strong relationship with the UK.

Britain's Conservative party have played down a rift between Boris Johnson and Prime Minister Theresa May, after Downing Street rebuked his remarks which criticized Saudi Arabia and Iran for abusing religion to further their own political objectives in the Middle East .

At a joint press conference in Riyadh, Mr Johnson said he remained concerned about the suffering of the people of Yemen, where Saudi Arabia is fighting Houthi rebels and appreciated his ability to speak with candour to Saudi leaders.

Mr. Trump is standing by his decision to take a phone call from Taiwan’s president, a move that broke with nearly four decades of US protocol.

Washington cut diplomatic ties with Taiwan in 1979, and agreed to the “One China” policy, which considers Taiwan a breakaway state and recognizes Beijing as the only legitimate representative of China.

In an interview with “Fox News Sunday”, Mr. Trump said he understands the policy, but questioned why another country should get a say in who he speaks to.
