Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen approves US military training support for Taiwanese troops

In an interview on CNN TV in the United States, Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen admitted that US troops have been dispatched to Taiwan to support Taiwanese military training.

It seems that the aim is to restrain China, which is increasing military pressure on Taiwan, but China's opposition is also expected.

According to CNN, an interview with President Cai took place on the 26th.

In this, President Cai acknowledged that the threat from China is increasing day by day.

In response to the question of whether Taiwanese military training is included in the support provided by the United States, which is the greatest backing of Taiwan's defense, he said, "We are widely cooperating with the United States to enhance our self-defense." ..

When asked, "How many U.S. troops are currently dispatched to Taiwan?", President Cai replied, "Not as many as people think," although he did not disclose the scale, but the United States. He admitted that the army was dispatched to Taiwan to support the training of the Taiwanese army.

"It's the first time the Führer has admitted that there are US troops in Taiwan for training purposes after the US troops were no longer stationed in the 1979 US-Taiwan diplomatic relations," CNN said.

In addition, President Cai replied "I'm confident" to the question, "Do you believe the United States will protect Taiwan if China attempts to advance to Taiwan?"

President Cai's remarks appear to be aimed at restraining China, which is increasing military pressure on Taiwan, but China's backlash, which claims that "Taiwan is part of China," is also expected.
