“Trump has shaken up the Taiwan debate in Washington to a large extent,” Lyle Goldstein, director of Asia engagement at Defense Priorities, told Fox News Digital.
Goldstein argued Trump’s comments reflected a return to a more restrained interpretation of “strategic ambiguity” after years of increasingly explicit U.S. signaling toward Taiwan under the Biden administration.
“Overall, his approach has been to return U.S. policy to ‘strategic ambiguity,’ especially in contrast to the Biden administration, which was lurching dangerously toward ‘strategic clarity,’ that threatened to spark a near-term U.S.–China war,” Goldstein said.
