ATHENS — Greece demanded Friday that the EU “step in” over what it said was unlawful fishing and violations of maritime law by Turkish fishermen. “We ask the European Union to intervene,” Greece’s Shipping Minister Vasilis Kikilias said. “Our maritime borders are also European borders, and the law of the sea applies to everyone.” Kikilias raised the issue of “the provocative behaviour of our Turkish neighbors with regards to the unlawful fishing, the non-respect of the ​law of the sea, and the dispute of sovereign ​rights,” during a meeting with ⁠the European Commissioner for Fisheries and Oceans, Costas Kadis, on ​Friday in Athens. Despite being NATO allies, Greece and Turkey have been at odds for decades over a number of bilateral squabbles, including quarrels over maritime boundaries, overlapping claims to their continental shelves and the long-running Cyprus dispute. Greece has designated restricted fishing areas in the Aegean Sea, some of which have been challenged by Turkey as being out of ⁠the country’s jurisdiction. Athens has also protested against a Turkish maritime spatial plan that designated zones for fishing in the Aegean Sea. Athens says that in several cases Turkish fishing vessels have operated in areas that Athens considers to be Greek territorial waters or zones under Greek jurisdiction, in some instances with Turkish coast guard vessel presence. According to a recent report from Bloomberg, the Turkish government is preparing to vote by June on the so-called Blue Homeland Law, which would codify Ankara’s claims to maritime economic zones in the Aegean Sea and the rest of the Eastern Mediterranean. Any unilateral attempt to implement maritime claims outside the framework of international law “is essentially bound to fail,” Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis said Thursday.

President Donald Trump said he was still deliberating a major arms sale to Taiwan, floating what would amount to a significant change in American foreign policy following a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. “I’ll make a determination over the next fairly short period. I’m gonna make a determination,” he told reporters of the potential sale as Air Force One made its way back to the U.S. from China on Friday, saying he needed to speak to the person “that’s running Taiwan.” The comments from the president — who acknowledged that Xi raised U.S.-Taiwan arm deals in their discussion — could amount to a fairly dramatic shift. One of the commitments that the administration of President Ronald Reagan made to Taiwan in 1982 — known as the Six Assurances — was that the U.S. wouldn’t consult with Beijing on weapon sales to the island. But Trump insisted he wasn’t marking any change to American foreign policy in his conversation with the Chinese president. “He brought that up,” Trump said of Xi. “He talked about that to me, obviously. So what am I going to do, say ‘I don’t want to talk to you about it because I have an agreement that was signed in 1982?’” The president’s comments leave the future of a $14 billion arms deal with Taiwan, which Congress approved back in January, uncertain. Trump’s statement could be of significant worry for the island’s advocates, who have for months fretted that Trump’s desire to strengthen the country’s economic relationship with China may see the president weaken its longstanding ironclad support for Taiwan. The Trump administration has regularly pushed back against the assertion that the president would abandon Taiwan. “An actual kind of haggling or horse trading on arms sales, or a consultation on what we would or would not sell — that would be a break with precedent if that is something that the Chinese asked for, and something that the president is willing to grant,” said David Sacks, a former political-military expert at the U.S. diplomatic outpost in Taiwan. Xi, Trump said, “feels very strongly” about the island and “doesn’t want to see a movement for independence.” “I heard him out,” he said. “I didn’t make a comment on it. I heard him out. I have a lot of respect for him.” Trump also refused to commit to coming to Taiwan’s defense in the event of a Chinese attack. Xi, he told reporters, had asked him the same question earlier on Friday. “I don’t want to say that,” he said.“I’m not going to say that. There’s only one person that knows that. You know who it is? Me. I’m the only person. That question was asked to me today by President Xi. I said, ‘’I don’t talk about those things.” Phelim Kine contributed to this report.
