Kelly Craft, the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Ambassador, emphasized in Taipei on Thursday (September 12) that if Trump re -administered, Taiwan should do his own responsibilities and become the "Polish Polish", Including increasing national defense budgets, buying more strike weapons, extended nuclear power generation, etc.
Since the former US President Trump has been engaged in the election campaign, he has proposed to be dissatisfied with Taiwan's "snatching American chip business" several times, and he even stated that Taiwan would pay "protection fees".
At the U.S. Presidential TV Debate on Tuesday (September 10), the Eastern Time time (September 10), the Democratic Party candidate Harris accused Trump's tariff policy pushing in power to sell the US chip to China in the end.Promote China's military modernization.Trump argued that the chips purchased by mainland China came from Taiwan.
This series of remarks has attracted attention from Taiwan's public opinion. Many views believe that if Trump comes to power, it will inevitably ask Taiwan to pay more costs.
The Think Tank National Institute of Defense Safety, founded by the Ministry of National Defense, invited Kravtet, who had served as the Trump administration's ambassador to the United Nations on Thursday to give a special speech at the "2024 Taipei Security Dialogue" international seminar.
Kravat bluntly stated at the meeting, "Trump will have some expectations for friends and allies around the world, especially those like Taiwan. He will expect you to take the responsibility as a security partner."
She also emphasized: "Taiwan leaders should now ask themselves, if China invades tomorrow, what will we hope that we have done now? You must start to prepare those preparations immediately, not to be delayed."
Clarvat also said that Taiwan must be Poland of the Pacific Ocean. While deepening contact with US defense, it is also built into an unquestionable military power.
She subsequently counts Taiwan's need for more anti -ship missiles, ground motor air defense systems, smart mines, air -to -air artillery, mobile cruise missile launchers and unmanned reconnaissance systems, and enhance defensive ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones.The ability to attack also requires more strike systems and counterattack capabilities.
She also proposed that Taiwan needs to strengthen offensive and defensive network warfare capabilities, strengthen the foundation of defense industry, greatly increase emergency materials reserve, and increase energy production, especially expanding nuclear energy power generation.
Clarvat emphasized that the secret to getting along with Trump, "is to do what you should do and take on your responsibility", "If Taiwan does due efforts, Trump’s second term will welcomeAnother great era to come to the United States and Taiwan. "
Taiwan scholars who are unwilling to be named to the United Morning Post described it from the background of Clarvat, and the possibility of the Trump team's intention behind this remark cannot be ruled out.
This scholar infer that this huge list is like the "protection fee" issued by Trump in advance, and it is required that the weapons purchased in Taiwan are more actively aggressive, showing that Trump intends to let Taiwan take responsibilityMore defense responsibilities.
Qiu Cuizheng, chairman of the Taiwan Government Mainland Committee, who also attended the opening ceremony of the seminar, reiterated in the opening speech that Taiwan will strengthen national defense, improve economic security, strengthen the partnership of democratic countries, and maintain stable and stable and have anyCross -strait relations of principles.
