Taiwan's government has expressed concern regarding its defense strategy following recent comments made by former President Donald Trump, which raised doubts about the United States' commitment to arms sales. The island nation has historically depended on U.S. military support to deter potential aggression from China, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory. Trump's reference to using Taiwan as a "negotiating chip" in discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping has intensified fears about the future of American assistance. This situation poses significant implications for Taiwan's security and its status as a self-governing democracy.
