🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼 Trump confirms he's holding billions in Taiwan weapons sales hostage as a "negotiating chip" with China: "I may do it, I may not do it. It's a very good negotiating chip for us, frankly." Asked if Taiwan should feel more or less secure after Beijing: "Neutral." He said he's "not looking to have somebody go independent because the United States is backing us." That sentence reframes Taiwan's self-governance as something the U.S. is causing rather than something 24 million people chose for themselves. Fox asked directly: "Xi probably liked that you haven't approved the weapons." Trump didn't deny it. He called it leverage. This is Taiwan's security being traded in real time for whatever Trump got in Beijing. China gets a delayed arms sale and a president who calls Taiwan "a place" that shouldn't "go independent." America gets Chinese oil purchases, investment commitments, and help pressuring Iran. The price of the Beijing summit is becoming clearer by the hour...






Inflation up dramatically - a direct result of Trump's Iran war. Blaming others won't help. Without a change of course, Americans will keep paying the price.
