Reagan's 'peace through strength' doctrine can aid Trump administration with Taiwan policy, group says

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute visited Taiwan amidst the U.S. presidential transition, a new administration in Taipei and ongoing Chinese coercion and aggression in Asia.

The series of meetings was designed to strengthen ties between the United States and Taiwan across Taiwan’s political leaders and business elite. Members of the RRPFI delegation identified several key takeaways from the trip that could compliment the Trump administration's policies toward strengthening the U.S.-Taiwan partnership.

The delegation said that while a number of President Donald Trump's selections for top administration roles have expressed previously held views about policy involving Taiwan, there is a general mix of optimism and uncertainty over the direction the administration will take on security and economic matters relating to Taiwan.
