former PresidenttrumpHe said he would not clarify whether he would send U.S. troops to support Taiwan if China invaded Taiwan by force, nor would he rule out the option of sending U.S. troops to Taiwan at that time, because the strategic card Can’t come forward easily.
In an exclusive interview with NBC News host Welker on “Face the Press,” Trump discussed a variety of issues including abortion rights, a series of lawsuits, interest rates, the Russia-Ukraine war and others.
Moderator Welker asked Trump, “Have you made up your mind that if China attacks Taiwan, you will send American troops to Taiwan?”bidenThe President said he would do that.”
Trump responded: “I wouldn’t say that, no. Because if I said that, I would show my cards, and only a fool would show his cards. I also heard DeSantis (FloridaThe Governor) said whatever he wanted about it. In my opinion, why talk about strategy? This cannot be said. So when you ask me this, I will not say it clearly because that will reveal my trump card.
The host asked, “Then you won’t eliminate the option (sending troops to Taiwan), OK?” Trump replied, “I won’t eliminate any option.”
Trump said that if he were still president, this Russia–Ukraine war would never have happened because “Russian President Putin is in awe of me and doesn’t know how to make moves. I would tell him not to make rash moves, but he really can not do.” “These things happened precisely because I wasn’t re-elected.”
Trump also said that if he had been in office, Xi Jinping would not have been in the position he is in today with Taiwan.
