Trump Intel Advisers Met with Taiwanese Official
Imagine a group of smart people who give advice to the U.S. president about secret stuff.
This group, called PIAB, had a meeting with a top representative from Taiwan, which is like a friend of the U.S., but it's a bit tricky because Taiwan isn't officially recognized.
This meeting was a big deal because it showed that this advisory group is becoming more important, especially as other government groups are being changed.
The meeting wasn't public, and we don't know exactly what they talked about, but it's all related to national security and international relations.
The President's Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB) held a private meeting with Taiwan's representative in the U.S.
PIAB is emerging as an influential group within the Trump administration.
The meeting with Alexander Yui was considered a sensitive diplomatic event.
Several PIAB members have close ties to former President Trump.
