Taipei, January 25, 2025: Taiwan’s internal political divisions have raised concerns about its defense strategy as President Donald Trump returns to prominence. The island nation has struggled to develop a unified defense approach amid growing threats from China, with some factions advocating for stronger ties with the U.S. and others pushing for caution, deepening the political divide.
This fragmentation is increasingly problematic, especially as geopolitical tensions in the region intensify. As Trump regains influence, questions arise about whether Taiwan’s lack of political cohesion could undermine its defense capabilities, leaving it vulnerable to external threats.
