“One potential flash level with China, most likely the potential flash level with China within the coming years, is over the problem of Taiwan,” O’Donnell stated. “The Chinese language navy is encroaching on Taiwan’s sea lanes, its airspace, its our on-line world. I do know you might have stated that Xi Jinping wouldn’t dare transfer militarily on Taiwan whilst you’re in workplace. However what if he does? Would you order U.S. forces to defend Taiwan?”

“You’ll discover out if it occurs. And he understands the reply to that,” Trump replied.

“Why not say it —” O’Donnell requested.

Trump didn't reply however as a substitute famous that when he met with Chinese language President Xi Jinping, the subject was by no means broached — largely, he claimed, as a result of they already understood one another.

“This by no means even got here up yesterday, as a topic. He by no means introduced it up. Folks have been slightly stunned at that. He by no means introduced it up, as a result of he understands it, and he understands it very properly,” Trump defined. “Taiwan is a really fascinating case. It’s 69 miles away from China. We’re 9,500 miles away. However that doesn’t matter. He understands — what is going to occur. He and I've spoken about it. But it surely was by no means even introduced up throughout a two and a ha — or two-and-a-half-hour assembly we had yesterday.”

“Do you thoughts if I ask, if you say, ‘He understands,’ why not talk that publicly to the remainder of us? What does he perceive that —” O’Donnell tried once more.

“Effectively — I don’t need to give away — I can’t give away my secrets and techniques,” Trump shot again. “I don’t need to be one among these guys that tells you precisely what’s gonna occur if one thing occurs. The opposite aspect is aware of, however — I’m not any person that tells you the whole lot since you’re asking me a query. However they perceive what’s gonna occur. And — he has brazenly stated, and his folks have brazenly stated at conferences, ‘We'd by no means do something whereas President Trump is president,’ as a result of they know the implications.”
