Trump · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 普 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 川普; on the Mainland it is 特朗普 - both point at “Trump”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 川普、特朗普 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
