Trump removed that bargaining piece when he threatens to not support NATO allies and he fails to honor existing US treaties. Trump has seen to it that his word means absolutely nothing and treaties with the US are only worth the paper they're printed on. So no, there's no bargaining piece here. In fact, Taiwan gets assurance of US defense by retaining semiconductor production in Taiwan as the US is forced into a position of having to defend its supply chain.
