Jon HuntsmanFormer Utah Governor and Ambassador to China Jon Huntsman says we might be overreacting to Donald Trump’s apparent breach of protocol when he spoke with the president of Taiwan before speaking with Chinese leaders.

Huntsman appeared on Fox and Friends Saturday morning where he said it’s not surprising that Trump is tackling foreign policy in an unconventional manner.

“We ought to be giving (Taiwan) a little more space,” Huntsman said on Fox News, noting mutual economic, national security and human rights issues.
