WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Monday he believed that President Joe Biden had not announced a change to America’s policy on military assistance to Taiwan.
“I think the President was clear on the fact that the policy has not changed,” Austin told a news conference.
Asked earlier on Monday if the United States would get involved militarily if Taiwan if it were attacked, Biden responded yes, and said that was the commitment that the United States made.
