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 become independent. I’d like to see everyone who makes chips in Taiwan come to us in America. I’m not looking for anybody to become independent. And, you know, are we supposed to travel 9,500 miles (15,288 km) to fight a war? I’m not looking for that. When you look at the odds, China is a very, very powerful and large country. That’s a very small island. Think about it; it’s 59 miles (94.9 km) away. We’re 9,500 miles (15,288 km) away. That’s a bit of a difficult problem. If you look at history, Taiwan developed because we had presidents who didn’t know what the hell they were doing. They stole our chip industry.” #grownostr #news
