The foreign and security policy of the U.S. under President Donald J. Trump is not clear yet. Trump’s lack of understanding of the importance of alliances and partnerships is concerning, but the administration is aware of the necessity to cooperate with allies and partners. It prioritizes deterring aggression in the Indo-Pacific from China, but it is aware that it could not address China’s challenges alone and thus committed to working with its allies including Japan. The U.S. has maintained an ambiguous position on the defense commitment in response to China’s attack on Taiwan, but as Taiwan has already abandoned its policy of counterattack on the mainland and China is more belligerent against Taiwan, the U.S. seems more tilted toward the Taiwanese side now. Meanwhile, Japan is accelerating its national security efforts. The Japan-U. S. Alliance remains vital for Japan’s national security. The United States-Japan Joint Leaders’Statement of February 2025 has several points relevant to Taiwan. Transforming the shared recognition on the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait into substantial cooperation is important. Japan, together with the U.S, and other like-minded partners, must do a lot of work for this purpose, including the following: first, Japan’s own defense efforts, particularly defense of the Southwest Islands region; second, helping Taiwan’s participation in international organizations tackling global issues, including in an export control regime of semiconductors; and finally, efforts to raise the awareness on the importance of Taiwan in the international community, including understanding of the cross-Strait relations. |
