It depends on the perspective. People in the US don't really care (sorry) about Puerto Rico the same way they care about Florida. They don't perceive it as a core part of themselves.

But to understand other cultures reasoning, one has to see things from their perspective.

Puerto Rico is an island

Taiwan is an island

Why are you so obsessed with making an anology with Florida?

You know what it would be like they fled to glorious Cuba. Cuba 🇨🇺 is exactly like Florida and I will not be explaining why.
