Trump's Taiwan mystery
Briefly

Trump's stance on Taiwan remains ambiguous as tensions rise between the U.S. and China. He deems a Chinese invasion 'catastrophic' but refuses to clarify U.S. defense policies. As Beijing increases military spending and asserts its claims on Taiwan, Trump's unpredictable foreign policy and past comments signal a shift towards prioritizing financial negotiations over traditional alliances. With a history of 'strategic ambiguity', Trump's approach contributes to uncertainty regarding U.S. intervention in Taiwan's defense, especially against the backdrop of his controversial views on NATO and support for Russia.

Taiwan should pay us for defense. You know, we're no different than an insurance company. Taiwan doesn't give us anything.
