Analysts note that following a decisive victory in the midterm elections, a Democratic-controlled Congress in the next term may intensify pressure on the Trump administration to expedite approval of the $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan, introduce various legislative measures to demonstrate support for Taiwan, and prevent any potential compromise on the issue. However, the overall U.S. policy toward Taiwan is not expected to undergo a fundamental shift. Jeffries, who is widely seen as likely to become the next Speaker of the House, has long held pro-Taiwan views. Should he cross established red lines on the Taiwan issue, Beijing is expected to respond with strong countermeasures.
