Taiwan's parliament has frozen billions in defense spending following Donald Trump's inauguration, raising concerns about the island's preparedness against China's threats. The move, backed by the opposition, comes amid strained US-Taiwan relations under Trump's foreign policy. Critics warn this could harm Taiwan's military reforms and send negative signals to Washington. Taiwan faces constant threats from China, which claims the island as its territory.
