“President Joe Biden said Monday the U.S. would intervene militarily if China were to invade Taiwan… The U.S. traditionally has avoided making such an explicit security guarantee to Taiwan, with which it no longer has a mutual defense treaty, instead maintaining a policy of ‘strategic ambiguity’ about how far it would be willing to go… A White House official said Biden’s comments did not reflect a policy shift for the United States.” (AP News)
Many on both sides are critical of the unscripted nature of Biden’s comments.
