As Donald Trump won the vote in the U.S. presidential elections in 2016, many anticipated a number of changes in the U.S. foreign policy. In this sense, China and Taiwan were not exceptions. With respect to this outcome, this paper will address the following question: How did the U.S. Foreign Policy towards Taiwan change from the Obama administration to the Trump administration? Regarding this question, in this paper, I will try to defend the view that as long as U.S.- China economic rivalry and trade war persists, Taiwan will remain under U.S. protection, regardless of a change in administrations in the U.S. This study will be a qualitative case study. In particular, in order to compare the U.S. foreign policy towards Taiwan under Obama and Trump administration, the data will be gathered from secondary resources through document analysis. These sources will be composed of relevant books, articles, academic journals, research papers, and newspapers gathered from libraries. These sources will be used for elaborating on foreign policies of Obama and Trump administration on Taiwan.

Donald Trump, 2016 yılında ABD başkanlık seçimini kazandığında, çoğu kişi ABD dış politikasında birtakım değişiklikler öngördü. Bu anlamda Çin ve Tayvan istisna değildi. Bu sonuçla ilgili olarak, bu makale şu soruyu ele alacaktır: ABD'nin Tayvan'a yönelik dış politikası, Obama yönetiminden Trump yönetimine nasıl değişti? Bu soruyla ilgili olarak, bu yazıda, ABD-Çin ekonomik rekabeti ve ticaret savaşı devam ettiği sürece, ABD'deki yönetimlerdeki bir değişiklikten bağımsız olarak Tayvan'ın ABD koruması altında kalacağı görüşünü savunmaya çalışacağım. Bu araştırma bir nitel vaka çalışmasıdır. Özellikle ABD'nin Obama ve Trump yönetimi altındaki Tayvan'a karşı uygulamış oldukları dış politikaları karşılaştırmak için, veriler belge analizi yoluyla ikincil kaynaklardan toplanacaktır. Bu kaynaklar ilgili kitap, makale, akademik dergi, araştırma makalesi ve kütüphanelerden toplanan gazetelerden oluşacaktır. Bu kaynaklar Tayvan'daki Obama ve Trump yönetiminin dış politikalarını değerlendirmek için kullanılacaktır.
