Taiwan\u2019s foreign minister said last week that the US and Taiwan are in talks on the possibility of the island being\u00a0brought under Washington\u2019s nuclear umbrella<\/a>, a step that would make a catastrophic war between the US and China much more likely.<\/p>\n

Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu made the comments before Taiwan\u2019s parliament, the Legislative Yuan. Wu declined to detail the talks when pressed if Taiwan had asked the US to bring the island its nuclear umbrella.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegarding the discussion of this issue with the United States, it is not suitable for me to make it public here,\u201d Wu said,\u00a0according to\u00a0The South China Morning Post<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many of the US\u2019s allies are considered to be under the protection of the US nuclear umbrella, including Japan, South Korea, and every member of NATO. Giving such a guarantee to Taiwan would mean the US could use nuclear weapons if China invades the island or if war breaks out by other means.<\/p>\n

Such a guarantee is unlikely to happen in the near term as it would require a radical change to US policy. While President Biden has vowed to send troops to intervene if China attacks Taiwan, the official policy on how the US would react to a Chinese invasion is still ambiguous.<\/p>\n

But the fact that the idea is being discussed will be viewed as a major provocation in Beijing. China\u00a0has a no-first-use policy<\/a>\u00a0for its nuclear arsenal, but US policy leaves open the option to use nukes in response to a conventional attack.<\/p>\n
