TAIPEI, Taiwan—Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he believes President-elect Donald Trump will take a similar approach to Taiwan as he did during his first term in office.

Speaking at a forum in Taipei on Jan. 6, Pompeo pointed out that China was identified as an adversary in Trump’s national security strategy, which was released in December 2017. On the other hand, the idea that Taiwan is a “linchpin” for the American economy is “not lost on American leaders,” Pompeo said.
