Trump's 'Keep the Strait' Statement: A Game-Changer for US-Asia Pacific Strategy

US President Donald Trump has announced that the US would 'keep the Strait' and manage it, referring to the Taiwan Strait. This statement could reshape the US's strategic position in the Asia-Pacific region. Taiwan is a strategically important island under economic and military pressure from China, and the US's decision to support Taiwan could be seen as a potential threat by China. This development may open a new chapter in US-China relations while also sparking debates over the legality of the US's Taiwan support policy under international law.
