WASHINGTON/TAIPEI - The U.S. and Taiwan have not made concrete plans for a call between their presidents, despite Trump's suggestion, four sources told Reuters.
A direct call would be unprecedented since 1979 and could strain U.S.-China relations.
Trump repeated his intention to speak with Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te, but officials say no plans are in place.
Beijing has warned such a call could damage bilateral ties, sources say.
Taiwan's presidential office said Lai is ready to discuss China's actions if a call occurs.
China deployed over 100 vessels in East Asia, signaling opposition to the potential call.
