$\u201cPaying for Protection\u201d?: What the Trump Re-election Means for Taiwan$

Prior to the 2024 US presidential election, Donald Trump made waves in Taiwan when he suggested that “Taiwan should pay [the US] for defense.” BBC reports that Google searches for the phrase “impact of Trump being elected” (川普當選影響) increased by 1000% in Taiwan on November 5.
Since confirmation of Trump’s re-election, many analysts have weighed in on what his second era of presidency would mean for US-Taiwan-China relations. Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs itself has warned that China could potentially test the US during the presidential transition through increased drills, cyber-attacks, or other forms of psychological warfare.
Will Taiwan have to take Trump’s demands for “protection money” seriously to lock in the US’ continued interest in its national security? Join us on November 16 to hear our panel of US-Taiwan experts discuss what the new Trump era might mean for Taiwan.
