US President Joe Biden said on Sunday that US forces would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion.
Biden made the comments during an interview with a news outlet. However, the US President reiterated that the US maintains a One China policy and does not support Taiwan's independence. Meanwhile, a White House official said that US policy toward Taiwan has not changed. A visit to Taipei by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last month has lead to increased tensions between Beijing and Washington over Taiwan.
