As January 20 approaches, countries worldwide prepare for the new geopolitical dynamics under the Trump 2.0 administration. Taiwan faces challenges and uncertainties in managing the incoming administration's demands.
During Trump's campaign, Taiwan was a prominent topic, especially regarding semiconductors and defense. The focus on job opportunities in the semiconductor industry and defense spending has raised concerns for Taiwan.
Trump's statements on defense spending and job opportunities have put pressure on Taiwan to increase its defense budget. However, Taiwan's domestic politics and low average tax rate pose challenges in meeting Trump's demands.
An amendment passing in December 2024 will strain Taiwan's central government finances, impacting defense funding. Taiwan and the U.S. also face friction in the semiconductor sector, with disagreements over chip production and exports to China.
Looking ahead, Taiwan's ability to balance U.S. demands with domestic policies remains uncertain. Political divisions and fiscal constraints may hinder Taiwan's ability to meet expectations. Improving communication and engaging with stakeholders will be crucial for Taiwan's leaders to navigate these challenges in U.S.-Taiwan relations.
