💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump's recent comments about "unification" sparked concern in Taiwan, as some feared a shift in U.S. policy towards the island. Trump was referring to the U.S.-China trade relationship, not Taiwan, according to the American Institute in Taiwan and the White House. China claims Taiwan as its territory, while Taiwan rejects Beijing's sovereignty claims. The U.S. maintains its "one China" policy, recognizing Beijing but providing Taiwan with defensive support.
