[61774] Trump's Foreign Policy: Cooling Ties with Taiwan and Continuing the Campaign in Iran

American Policy in Focus: Between Taiwan and Iran

Following his visit to Beijing and his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, US President Donald Trump signaled a change in tone regarding Taiwan. Amir Tsarfati reports that Trump called on Taiwan to refrain from declaring independence, stating: "We don't want anyone saying 'let's declare independence because the US supports us'." According to Trump, as published in GeoPWatch, he is not interested in a distant war and calls on both sides to "calm down." However, Taiwan continues to view US arms sales as a "cornerstone of regional stability," as reported in WarFront Witness.

At the same time, tensions with Iran remain high. Rerum Novarum, which is close to US security reporting, notes that the US and Israel are making intensive preparations for the possibility of renewed military strikes, including the use of special forces. Abu Ali Express in English emphasizes that Trump, in an interview with Fox News, dismissed claims about the length of the campaign in Iran and compared it to long wars of the past, while expressing optimism regarding a "near surrender" of Tehran.

Against this backdrop, economic and strategic complexity is evident. Jewish Truth Archive reports that Trump may lift sanctions on Chinese companies purchasing Iranian oil, a move intended to facilitate reaching an agreement with Tehran. The various reports reflect conflicting approaches: while pro-Israeli channels focus on Trump's military resolve, critical channels such as GeoPWatch point to the president's inconsistency in his foreign policy.
