In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek on Tuesday,
Trump was asked if he would defend Taiwan against China if he wins the US election in November.
China’s ruling Communist party claims Taiwan as a province and has vowed to annex it, refusing to rule out the use of military force.
The US does not formally recognise Taiwan but is it’s most important security partner.
In response to the question Trump said Taiwan should be paying the US to defend it, that the US was
“no different than an insurance company” and that Taiwan “doesn’t give us anything”.
The US sells Taiwan billions of dollars in weapons under legislative obligations to provide it with the means to defend itself.
These sales markedly increased under Trump’s presidency.
However, Trump’s comments on Tuesday suggest his support for Taiwan is not guaranteed.
Trump noted China’s increased military aggression towards Taiwan, said he, “wouldn’t feel too secure if I was [Taiwan]”,
and questioned why the US was acting as Taiwan’s “insurance” when, he claimed, they had taken American chip business.

Responding to Trump on Wednesday, Taiwan’s Premier, Cho Jung-tai, told a press briefing that Taiwan was grateful to the US for its support, and that Taiwan was “working hard” to maintain the relationship while also increasing their self-defence capabilities and “as a member of the international community”.
“Taiwan and the US share a common responsibility for the Indo-acific region of the Taiwan Strait,
and we are willing to do more to defend ourselves and protect our security,” he said.
