KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan - President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees for key positions in his administration are being seen as 'China Hawks' by many observers. The appointments of these officials, including the United Nations ambassador, national security adviser, and secretary of state, have garnered a positive response in Taiwan, even from individuals who did not support Trump.
Sen. Marco Rubio, a potential pick for secretary of state, has been vocal about his support for Taiwan, emphasizing the need for continued backing from the U.S. He has also advocated for Taiwan to increase defense spending, a stance that aligns with security experts but may not be universally embraced by the Taiwanese populace.
