TAIPEI, October 28
A small number of US forces are in Taiwan to train with Taiwanese soldiers, President Tsai Ing-wen said in an interview, confirming the presence of US troops on the self-governing island.
Tensions between Taiwan and China, which has not ruled out taking the island by force, have escalated in recent weeks as Beijing raises military and political pressure. “We have a wide range of cooperation with the US aiming at increasing our defence capability,” Tsai said. Asked how many US service members were deployed in Taiwan, she said only that it was “not as many as people thought”.
The confirmation comes as China is sharply increasing military pressure on Taiwan. — Reuters
