Taiwan's president has defended the island's arms purchases from the United States in light of remarks made by former President Trump. Trump referred to these arms sales as a 'bargaining chip,' which has sparked apprehension in Taiwan.
The comments come after Trump's recent visit to China, raising questions about the future of US foreign policy towards Taiwan. The implications of such a shift could be significant for the self-governing territory.
As the situation evolves, Taiwan remains vigilant about its defense and diplomatic relations, seeking to ensure its security amidst changing international dynamics.
