A recent visit to Taiwan by a delegation led by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute (RRPFI) has resulted in a series of key takeaways that could influence the Trump administration's policies towards strengthening the U.S.-Taiwan partnership. The delegation, comprising U.S. national security and business leaders, engaged in strategic meetings with Taiwan's political leaders and business elite to bolster ties between the two nations.
Amidst a presidential transition in Washington, D.C., a new administration in Taipei, and Chinese coercion in East Asia, the delegation emphasized the importance of increasing defense spending for national unity and security. They highlighted the need for elected officials from all parties to fulfill commitments to enhance defense capabilities, aligning with President Trump's emphasis on allies shouldering the primary burden of their own defense.
