"Will he help defend Taiwan" after taking power? Trump's answer dealt a blow to the Democratic Progressive Party and publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Taiwan, arousing concern among the American people.
The 2024 U.S. election campaign has officially begun. Former U.S. President Trump won the first place in the Republican Partyās first primary election with an overwhelming advantage, setting off a storm. The West began to worry about Trumpās āsecond entry into the palace.ā subsequent impact.
You must know that Trump has differences with the current US President Biden in many aspects, and even has opposite views. If Trump comes to power, the policies he will adopt will be different from Biden, especially on the "Taiwan Strait issue" ", Trump once criticized Biden for being too "stupid."
According to Observer.com citing US media reports, last Sunday, when Trump participated in a TV show, he was asked whether he would help "defend Taiwan" if he returned to the White House? Even at the risk of "war" with the mainland?
In response, Trump replied that from the perspective of the president, he cannot answer this question head-on, because if he expresses his actual thoughts, it may lead to a disadvantaged position during negotiations.
Trump then changed the subject and began to publicly express his dissatisfaction with Taiwan, saying that Taiwan was very smart and had stolen the U.S. chip business in a very clever way, which should have been prevented long ago.
Although Trump did not directly respond clearly whether he would help "defend Taiwan," it is generally believed that Trump had no intention of helping Taiwan either inside or outside his words, otherwise he would not directly and publicly express dissatisfaction with Taiwan.
US media "Newsweek" believes that Trump is suggesting that the United States should not provide help when the mainland liberates Taiwan. Many netizens also interpreted Trump's words on overseas social media as "if he returns to the White House, the United States led by him will not assist Taiwan." This has aroused concerns among some American people.
Some people believe that Trump is too "weak" on some issues with China. Others question Trump's statement that "Taiwan has stolen the U.S. chip business." Others believe that Trump is adopting a "strategic approach." "Vague" position, after all, as the president, nothing can be said too absolutely.
In addition, some American people questioned the question raised by the host: Why should the United States decide the Taiwan issue? This is not about America.
Trump's remarks also made some die-hard "Taiwan independence" elements on the island sweat. Glacier, a well-known American expert on China studies, shouted "Taiwan should be careful."
It is worth noting that Trump was asked a similar question in September last year. Trump's answer at that time was that he would not make a clear commitment to "protect the platform with force" like Biden, only "stupid" "People" do this. Because once you make your position clear, it is equivalent to revealing your options.
This is not the first time Trump has criticized Bidenās policies on the Taiwan Strait issue. As we all know, after Biden became the President of the United States, he publicly stated on many occasions that he would "protect Taiwan." However, the U.S. government used a "vague policy" on this issue in the past. In other words, it superficially adhered to the "One China" principle. It does not support "Taiwan independence" but secretly "arms Taiwan".
However, Biden has made it clear many times that if a conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, the United States will respond and does not rule out the possibility of sending U.S. troops to Taiwan. This goes against the "vague policy" that the U.S. government has always adopted. Trump responded to this Scoff.
On the one hand, it is not clear whether the restoration will "protect Taiwan", but on the other hand, it is clear that it will "poor Taiwan". It is foreseeable that if Trump enters the palace for the second time, it will bring considerable pressure to Lai Qingde.
