Trump camp defends Taiwan call, Carrier deal

Donald Trump’s camp is dismissing criticism over the President elect’s conversation with Taiwan’s president. The US and Taiwan have not had diplomatic relations since 1979, as part of the “one China” principle - a decades-long agreement that ceased all diplomatic recognition of Taiwan, recognizing the People’s Republic of China as the sole, legal government.

A day after China lodged a diplomatic protest of the call, Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told "Fox News Sunday" that Mr. Trump knows about "one China"

The Vice-President elect also backed up Mr. Trump’s deal with Carrier to keep one-thousand manufacturing jobs in the U.S. He said Mr. Trump negotiated the deal through a personal phone call and critics were wrong in thinking the agreement was driven by tax incentives.
