Trump is set to take the oath of office on January 20, Eastern Time, officially returning to the presidency of the United States. The start of this "Trump 2.0 era" has garnered significant attention. In addition to the four-day inauguration events, the trajectory of US-China relations and their implications for Taiwan are focal points. According to reports, Trump delivered his last speech before the inauguration, making declarations about a series of policy actions, including the delay of the TikTok ban.

The highlights of the inauguration will include the oath-taking ceremony and the inaugural address, expected to occur around 1 AM Taiwan time on January 21. Major media outlets will broadcast this ceremony live, and Taiwan will also send a delegation to celebrate.

Regarding US-China relations, commentators note that the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency will be crucial, with indications that he may visit China during that time, aiming to foster bilateral cooperation. However, China has reiterated the sensitivity of the Taiwan issue.

Scholars believe that Trump will likely continue his campaign themes of "Making America Great Again" and prioritizing American interests, suggesting Taiwan needs to bolster its defense budget for a smoother US-Taiwan relationship. Additionally, business circles express concerns about possible changes in tariff policies that may affect Taiwan’s industrial development.
