Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred controversy by suggesting Taiwan should pay the U.S. for its defense against potential Chinese aggression, comparing the U.S. to an insurance company. Trump's comments, made during an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, have led to significant declines in shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and raised concerns about the future of U.S. support for Taiwan. In response, Taiwan's Premier Chen Chien-jen emphasized Taiwan's efforts to bolster its self-defense capabilities and expressed willingness to shoulder more responsibility for regional security. The remarks have intensified worries about the geopolitical stability of Taiwan, crucial due to its dominant role in the global semiconductor supply chain, particularly affecting major tech companies reliant on advanced chips. Analysts warn that any conflict over Taiwan could have devastating impacts on the global economy.
