🇨🇳🇺🇸| Trump says the U.S. spies on and steals from China, just as China spies on and steals from the U.S.

🇺🇸🇮🇷| Trump on Iran war: "We're doing it to help Israel—and to help Saudi Arabia, and to help Qatar and UAE, and you know, Kuwait, and other countries, Bahrain."

🇮🇷🇺🇸| Trump says higher gas prices is the price Americans must pay for Iran not having a nuclear weapon.

🇨🇳🇺🇸| Trump on China: "We want to open it up. It's massive. We want to get all of those companies and many more in there, and make a lot of money and a lot of jobs for America."

‼️🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱| BREAKING: Trump indicated he could accept a 20-year halt to Iran’s nuclear activity:

20 years is enough. But the level of guarantee from them… it's got to be a real 20 years.

🇰🇵🇺🇸| Trump: I have a very good relationship with Kim Jong-un.

Report: of want kind?

Trump: doesn't matter, He's been respectful of our country. I want him to be respectful.

🇨🇳🇺🇸🇹🇼| Trump On Taiwan: Xi doesn't want to see a movement for independence.

He says, “Look, you know, we've had it for thousands of years and then at a certain period of time it left that we were going to get it back. They had the Korean War. A lot of things happened and all this.”

I made no commitment either way.

‼️🇨🇳🇹🇼🇺🇸| Reporter: What about the arm sales to Taiwan?

Trump: Uh I'll make a determination over the next fairly short period.

‼️🇨🇳🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦| Reporter: Did you discuss Ukraine at all with Xi? And is there any movement on that?

Trump: I did.

We discussed — well, it's one that we'd like to see settled. Until last night, it was looking good, but they took a big hit last night.

So, it's going to happen, but it's a shame.

‼️🇨🇳🇺🇸| Reporter: Do you think President Xi is a dictator?

Trump 🗣: He's the ruler. He's the president of China. I don't think about it.

💬You deal with what you have. I respect him. He's very smart. He loves his country. I respect him.

💬Whether he's a dictator, that's for you to figure out.

Reporter: Would the US defend Taiwan if it came to it?

Trump: I don't want to say that. I'm not going to say that.

That question was asked to me today by President Xi. I said, “I don't talk about those.”

Reporter: He asked you if you would send troops?

Trump: He asked me if I'd defend them. I said, “I don't talk about that.”

‼️🇨🇳—🇹🇼—🇺🇸| Have wondered why china is obsessed with taiwan
Ans: Enormous Sea Territory

⁉️What Changes If China Takes Taiwan

Deep-Water Access: Taiwan's eastern coast features immediate, deep-water drop-offs into the Pacific Ocean.
Invisible Submarines: Chinese nuclear-armed submarines could deploy directly into deep water without being tracked.
Power Projection: The Chinese Navy (PLAN) could freely launch carrier strike groups directly into the Philippine Sea and North Pacific.
Threat to U.S. Territories: Chinese military forces would operate thousands of miles closer to Guam, Hawaii, and the U.S. mainland.
Trade Route Control: China would control the critical sea lanes through which Japan and South Korea receive energy and goods.
Strait Domination: Beijing could choke or block shipping traffic passing through the Taiwan Strait at will.
Resource Leverage: This dominance would give China massive economic leverage over Tokyo and Seoul.
