Former U.S. president and Republican candidate Donald Trump said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that he will impose 150-200% tariffs on China if it tries to blockade Taiwan. As the U.S. presidential elections draw closer, how are the results expected to affect Taiwan? In this episode of “Taiwan Talks,” we examine Trump’s and Harris’ stances on Taiwan’s security, whether tariffs are an effective strategy for deterring China, and what Taiwan is seeking from the next U.S. leader. Furthermore, we discuss the U.S.-Philippine KAMANDAG joint military exercises and how U.S. alliances in the Indo-Pacific can serve to counter China’s aggressive actions.
