Since Donald Trump assumed the U.S. presidency, the promises he made during his campaign and his policy proposals have faced scrutiny over whether they will be realized. Trump has already announced plans to impose tariffs not just on rivals like China, but also on allies, including Mexico and Canada. Meanwhile, he’s been vague about how the U.S. might respond to a potential Taiwan contingency. In this episode of “Taiwan Talks,” we delve into Trump’s overall strategy for his new administration. Furthermore, we explore whether Trump can maintain his campaign promises and discuss his reluctance in stating whether the U.S. would intervene in any Taiwan contingency.
