It has been a rough couple of weeks for those claiming that Trump is abandoning Taiwan. The administration continues to show its commitment to the self-governed island. Recent examples include President Trump’s “Taiwan is Taiwan” remark, his warning regarding the “consequences” of attempting to take Taiwan, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth raising concerns about China’s actions around the island to China’s Minister of National Defense, and meetings between Taiwanese and U.S. officials at the APEC summit.

I agree with him completely. Taiwan will never be a part of Communist China. pic.twitter.com/EBYuzYR4cP

Before the Trump-Xi meeting in South Korea, Taiwanese officials expressed strong confidence in the ties between Taipei and Washington.
