Urban combat is Taiwan's top priority as we continue to strengthen Taiwan's defense in depth. This also requires us to take whole-of-society approach to build and maintain operational readiness in a conflict.🇹🇼
Today the people of Taiwan make their voices heard, our democracy is an example to the world. We reaffirm that Taiwan will remain a free-market economy and our approach to addressing complex energy & environmental issues is balanced and sustainable.

I met w/ Vice Defense Minister Fang Mao-hung 房茂宏 to discuss ways to secure our harbors & airports if China invades Taiwan, the role of coast guard in countering China's grey-zone threats, and how Taiwan can deepen exchanges with the U.S. National Guard.
I want to thank #Taiwan's diplomats & development professionals in Nicaragua for their hard work & contributions. Our presence in Nicaragua has helped develop modern agriculture, reduce climate vulnerability, strengthen public health for the people of Nicaragua.
