U.S. President Joe Biden has stated that he will not rule out using U.S. military forces to defend Taiwan if China attacks. In an interview with Time Magazine, Biden emphasized that the decision would depend on the circumstances. He said, 'I would use U.S. forces to defend Taiwan,' but noted, 'We are not seeking independence for Taiwan, nor will we, in fact, not defend Taiwan if China unilaterally tries to change the status.' This statement marks a nuanced stance compared to his previous unequivocal commitments to defend Taiwan, reflecting a more conditional approach to potential military intervention.
