President Donald Trump said he didn’t want to comment when asked Wednesday whether it was the policy of his administration to prevent China from taking control of Taiwan by force.
“I never comment on that,” Trump said in response to a question from a reporter Wednesday during a Cabinet meeting at the White House. “I don’t comment on any — because I don’t want to ever put myself in that position. And if I said it, I certainly wouldn’t say it to you. I’d be saying it to other people, maybe people around this table.”
