Summary
In a CNN town hall in October, Biden was asked about using the U.S. military to defend Taiwan and replied, “Yes, we have a commitment to do that.”Biden’s comments came just before he formally launched a long-anticipated Indo-Pacific trade pact that excludes Taiwan.White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan confirmed Sunday that Taiwan isn’t among the governments signed up for the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, which is meant to allow the U.S. to work more closely with key Asian economies on issues like supply chains, digital trade, clean energy and anticorruption.Inclusion of Taiwan would have irked China.Sullivan said the U.S. wants to deepen its economic partnership with Taiwan on a one-to-one basis.—-Miller reported from Washington.
