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.
