TAIPEI -- Taiwan is expected to face heavy pressure to strengthen its defense and decouple supply chains from neighboring China after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election this week.
How Trump will engage with Taiwan is one of the most consequential questions over his second presidency. The U.S. is by far Taipei's most important political and security partner, and White House policy will have a direct bearing on Taiwan's ability to withstand the Chinese Communist Party's threats to its sovereignty.
