Ostensibly, Ego Man wants world peace so let’s hope he’s not stupid about that. Sounds like basically all he has to do is keep his trap shut for once and not twiddle his thumbs.Every President since Reagan, except Trump, has said we will defend Taiwan. President Trump, always the outlier, hasn’t said we will or won’t.
In the meantime INDOPACOM continues to prepare to defend Taiwan if necessary, continues to send US Navy warships on Freedom of Navigation transits through the Strait of Taiwan which the PRC falsely claims as territorial waters, continues to patrol the South China Sea which the PRC falsely claims is their sea, and continually surveil the PRC for unusual military activity. Our military also conducts defense of Taiwan exercises with Taiwan’s military. The PRC is convinced we will defend Taiwan. If President Trump ever says we won’t it sets the stage for war.
