This shift, compounded by South Korea’s refusal to join the conflict, risks weakening U.S. deterrence against China over Taiwan and the Philippines while undermining broader regional alliances. Critics argue that Trump’s focus on Iran—alongside conciliatory signals toward nuclear-armed North Korea, threats against partners such as Oman, and widespread use of tariffs—has compromised U.S. strategic credibility and distracted from more consequential long-term challenges in Asia.
