During his first Cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump refrained from commenting on whether his administration would take action to prevent China from seizing Taiwan by force. When asked about this issue, Trump stated, 'I never comment on that — I don’t comment on anything, because I don’t want to ever put myself in that position.'
Trump further explained that if he were to address such matters, it would be done in a more private setting with specific individuals. These remarks come amidst tensions between the US and China regarding Taiwan.
