韓國瑜表示，維持台海和平穩定，讓人民安居樂業，是他決定參選總統的首要目標，與川普總統所倡導的理念「透過力量實現和平」一致。並認為在台灣海峽軍事力量嚴重失衡的情況下，除了仰賴智慧務實的大陸政策，也需要強大的自衛能力做為後盾，因此他支持國軍把武器汰舊換新，並獲取新一代的戰力、技術。

韓國瑜主張，兩岸政策與國防政策是相輔相成的，唯有透過兩岸和解與堅實國防，能保障中華民國的主權與安全，實現海峽兩岸的和平理想，為人民帶來繁榮的生活。另外，韓國瑜也批評，民進黨政府的兩岸政策與國防政策相互矛盾，一邊製造兩岸對立，另一邊卻不斷強化軍事。

韓國瑜競選總部英文聲明全文：

The KMT presidential candidate Han Kuo-yu applauded President Donald Trump’s decision to approve the sale of new F-16 fighters to Taiwan. If elected president, Han pledges to deepen US-Taiwan security and military relationships and make Taiwan a robust “peace defender.”

“Maintaining peace across the Taiwan Strait and making people living in a prosperous life are the foremost objectives of his decision to enter into Taiwan’s presidential race,” Han said. He strongly believes in the idea of “peace through strength” as advocated by presidents Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.

Han believes peace relies not only on smart and pragmatic Mainland China policy but also on strong self-defense capability. Han supports regular replacement of obsolete weapons systems and acquiring next generation technology and capability.

Unlike the DPP Administration’s policy of strengthening defense while taking a confrontational approach against the PRC, Han emphasized that his cross-strait policy and defense policy are synchronized. He believes the sovereignty and security of the Republic of China and prosperous life of Taiwan people can only be ensured by pursuing peace across the Taiwan Strait through robust defense capability.

Han has directed his recently formed advisory team on national security and defense affairs to begin a series of communications with their counterparts in the United States.
