Summary
Taiwan’s Defense Minister Wellington Koo said the US will not abandon the Indo-Pacific, calling it a “core national interest.”
Heightened fears arose after a Trump-Zelenskyy exchange raised questions about Washington’s reliability.
Taiwan plans to boost defense spending and assist TSMC’s US expansion, partly addressing Trump’s earlier complaints.
Trump also urged Taiwan to raise its defense budget to 10% of GDP, far above its current 2.45%.
With China’s ongoing threats, Taipei sees its partnership with the US as essential for maintaining regional stability.
Then they are completely-foolish.
Trump couldn’t care less about the real long-term interest of the US of A: he’s smashing the US to smithereens for sake of his importance, throughout the next 8-ish years.
( no there won’t be any replacement of him through election: it’s too late for that, now:
the Dems had their chance, in 2024, & relied on their filter-bubble & their Hopium.
The opportunity’s completely gone, & Civil War Part2 will begin roughly in 2027-9, when even the deniers are forced into seeing that it’s too late, & it should last a few years )
The Republicans’ butchering civil-rights is anti-fragile: it’ll only escalate.
& as for any proof that Trump’s values couldn’t care less about the human-lives dependent on the old way?
USAID’s gutting was the intentional severing of thousands of medical lifelines.
Extrapolate those Trump-values globally, & then you’re seeing the actual Trump, Putin’s apprentice.
Please Asia do not rely on Hopium as the Democratic Party did…
Making-believing’s the most worthless “defence” there is.

Never trust anything Trump says or signs. He signed a free trade treaty with Canada and now is putting tariffs on Canadian goods. He’s a lying scumbag and so is the little dweeb Vance.
If they really believe this and they aren’t just putting up a mask for the sake of diplomacy, then they are idiots. US is ruled by a moscovite asset, and burning down Taiwan would benefit them by weakening the west.
Not only that but if you tell him that he can’t do something he’s going to think that you’re dictating things to him and it’ll increase the chances of him doing it.
There’s only one person allowed to tell him what to do.
I guess it comes down to who is willing to pay more to install a puppet president.
Taiwan is fucked.
Lol. Putin owns Trump. Taiwan is fucked. We’re all fucked.
“Impossible”
Trump: Hold my beer.
Trump: Hold my diet coke.
If anything building factory in the usa is what will be their downfall. Why defend Taiwan if they can make the chips in the USA?
Donnie Poopypants: hold my cocaine
