“There is no commitment.”

Joe can send troops if he decides to. He is the President until removed.

True. He can say he is committed to doing this.

But there is no US commitment to do it.

Biden could change his mind, a different president could decide not to etc..

Nothing commits the U.S. to defend Taiwan in the way the former mutual defense treaty did.

Contrast to Japan where the US is committed to defend Japan.
