Outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden once again emphasized support for Ukraine at the G20 summit and called for a ceasefire between Israel and Palestine. Furthermore, he authorized Ukraine to use the U.S. long-range missile system ATACMS against Russia for the first time at the 2024 APEC summit. What is the significance of Biden’s actions, and how might Trump respond to these issues upon taking office? In this episode of “Taiwan Talks,” we discuss Biden’s authorization of ATACMS and landmines for Ukraine, developments in the Russia-Ukraine war, and how Trump may shift U.S. support for Ukraine. In addition, we examine North Korea’s involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war, whether Washington D.C. could boost engagement with Pyongyang, and how regional alliances such as with Japan and South Korea can deter threats.
