Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 2: Sharael Taha on navigating uncertainties in US-Singapore relations
With the evolving landscape under the current US administration, how is the government assessing its potential impact on Singapore-US bilateral relations? In particular, how might shifts in US foreign policy, especially its intensifying rivalry with China, along with changes in economic priorities and trade policies, affect key areas of cooperation such as defence, trade and technology partnerships? Amidst growing global fragmentation, how is the government ensuring that Singapore strengthens its international ties while upholding a calibrated independent foreign policy that safeguards its national interests? MP Sharael Taha raised these questions in parliament on Monday (Mar 3).
