Keep them separate. Using Taiwan's defense as a bargaining chip tells Beijing our commitments are negotiable, even if China answers by pulling back on trade

Link them. Arms for Taiwan are leverage, and a president should use every card to win a better trade deal, even though Taiwan may wait longer for weapons
