Would Trump defend Taiwan?
TOKYO -- As U.S. President Joe Biden has abandoned his quest for a second term, the Democratic Party is scrambling for a new strategy for the Nov. 5 presidential election. With just over three months remaining until the vote, former President Donald Trump is reveling in renewed momentum for his campaign.
As the world is captivated by the race, Trump's comments about Taiwan have caused a stir. In an interview with Bloomberg published July 16, Trump said Taiwan had captured "almost 100%" of the U.S. semiconductor industry, adding the island should pay the U.S. for defending it from China.
