⚡️🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼 — President Donald Trump said China’s position on Taiwan is focused on preventing formal independence rather than pursuing a “takeover,” stating: “It’s not a takeover… they don’t want to see it go independent.”

➡️ Trump suggested Beijing could act on Taiwan if he is no longer in office, while indicating no action would occur during his presidency, linking deterrence to his tenure.

➡️ He also confirmed a $14 billion U.S. arms package for Taiwan remains “in limbo,” describing it as a “negotiating chip” with China following the summit, despite prior congressional approval.

➡️ Asked whether Taiwan should feel more secure, Trump responded “neutral,” adding “nothing’s changed” in U.S. policy and reiterating opposition to Taiwanese independence in the context of avoiding a distant military escalation.

📷 The remarks reflect continued strategic ambiguity toward Taiwan, combining deterrence messaging toward Beijing with restrained policy signaling toward Taipei - Fox News interview.

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 — In a Fox News interview with Bret Baier, Donald Trump described U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear-related infrastructure, stating that an enriched uranium facility was “hit so hard the mountain literally collapsed on it,” while adding that recovery of remaining material would not be sufficient from a “public relations-wise” perspective.

➡️ Pressed on campaign effectiveness and Iranian resilience, Trump said the U.S. struck Iran “unbelievably hard” while deliberately sparing key strategic infrastructure, including bridges, power generation capacity and oil facilities such as Kharg Island, which he framed as preserved leverage under current escalation conditions, while noting such targets could be destroyed “in two days” if required.

➡️ Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said Iran has historically used it as a coercive lever but “is not using it as a weapon with me,” linking current conditions to broader pressure dynamics aimed at forcing concessions.

➡️ On energy markets, he described price increases as “a little pain,” adding that oil prices are expected to decline below prior levels once geopolitical pressure stabilizes - Fox News interview.
