A new agreement on reciprocal trade between the US and Taiwan has been reported, although details of the agreement are not specified. The development is part of a broader discussion on deterrence in the Indo-Pacific region, where countries including China, North Korea, and Russia are involved in gray zone campaigns and activities. The US is also considering its national security strategy, with deterring conflict in Taiwan reportedly a priority, while other countries are exploring their own deterrence measures, including nuclear deterrence and anti-coercion instruments.
