Trump on Taiwan: “The Chinese just don’t want to see this place — we’ll call it a place, because nobody knows how to define it — but they don’t want to see it go independent. I’d like to see everybody making chips in Taiwan come over to us in America. I’m not looking to have somebody go independent. And, you know, are we supposed to travel 9,500 miles to fight a war? I’m not looking for that. When you look at the odds, China is a very, very powerful and big country. That’s a very small island. Think of it; it’s 59 miles away. We’re 9,500 miles away. That’s a little bit of a difficult problem. If you look at the history, Taiwan was developed because we had presidents that didn’t know what the hell they were doing. They stole our chip industry” 🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼
