In 1st Meet Under Trump 2.0, Quad Sends Strong Warning To China

Washington DC:

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio convened the first Quad ministerial meeting with Australia, India, and Japan on his first full day in office. The four nations collectively cautioned against altering the status quo in the Indo-Pacific through coercive measures, indirectly targeting China for its actions in the region. This marked the first high-level meeting of the Quad since President Trump’s return to the White House.

During the meeting in Washington, Rubio engaged with Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong, Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, and Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya. In a joint statement, the countries reiterated their commitment to upholding a Free and Open Indo-Pacific that values the rule of law, democratic principles, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

The statement explicitly stated, “We also strongly oppose any unilateral actions that seek to change the status quo by force or coercion,” alluding to concerns over China’s claims on territories such as Taiwan.

The ministers confirmed plans for a Quad summit scheduled to take place in India later in the year, potentially leading to an early visit by President Trump to the key US partner seen as a counterbalance to China.

Following the meeting, Jaishankar emphasized the significance of the Quad ministerial meeting occurring shortly after the inauguration of the Trump Administration, highlighting its importance in the foreign policies of member states.

China has frequently criticized the Quad as an attempt by the US to encircle it. The Quad has focused on addressing China’s military and economic activities in the Indo-Pacific, particularly in the South China Sea where regional allies have contested Beijing’s territorial assertions.

Trump’s China Strategy

In parallel, Rubio held separate meetings with the foreign ministers of Australia, India, and Japan. Plans were underway to organize another gathering of the foreign ministers at the White House, according to reports.

The US, India, Japan, and Australia share apprehensions about China’s expanding influence in the Indo-Pacific region. Analysts suggest that the meeting was a clear signal that countering China is a top priority for Trump, who has pledged to confront its rise.

During his confirmation hearing, Rubio reaffirmed his commitment to deterring China from any aggression towards Taiwan, a democratic nation that China claims as its own. He emphasized the importance of collaborating with allies on issues crucial to America and its citizens.
