A Fox News reporter asked Trump, "Xi Jinping emphasized that Taiwan is the most important issue in US-China relations. He said that if handled well, the two countries can maintain overall stability; if handled poorly, it could lead to clashes or even conflict, pushing U.S.-China relations to a very dangerous situation. This sounded like a threat. Did he say this during the closed-door Trump-Xi meeting?"
Trump: "No, no, no, absolutely not. But it has always been their most important issue. It's not about taking over; they just don't want to see this place (referring to Taiwan), called a place, because nobody knows how to define it, but they don't want to see it independent. They don't want to do that. I think they might do something very harsh, and then they'll be treated harshly, and bad things will happen."
"So it's not like that. By the way, we talked about this all night last night (referring to the state dinner). I think I know more about Taiwan now than I do about almost every other country."
Did Xi Jinping lead the Trump-Xi meeting?
Trump: "I've known Xi Jinping for 11 or 12 years, and Taiwan has always been the most important thing to him. Now that I'm here (referring to President Trump's term), when I'm here, I don't think they'll do anything; but when I'm not here, I think they might, frankly.
"I'm not sure they'll do anything while maintaining the status quo, but there are people over there (referring to Taiwan) who want independence. When you go for independence, you know, going for independence is a dangerous thing. They go for independence, which is like entering a war, and they think the United States will support them."

"I want to see the status quo, I'm telling you, I'm going to let you in: I want to see all the people who make chips in Taiwan come to the United States, because frankly, I think that's the best thing you can do, because it's a very intense situation. No doubt about it. As you know, we already have a lot of chip companies coming from Taiwan to the United States, and we expect to control 40% to 50% of the global chip industry by the end of my term. And I think it should be more. I think all those chip companies, if they're smart, will start going to Arizona and where they're building factories, and that will solve your problem." "After the Trump-Xi meeting, should Taiwanese people feel safer or more dangerous?
Trump: "Neutral. There's no change in U.S.-Taiwan policy. I would say I don't want to see anyone heading towards independence, and you know, we'd have to fly 9,500 miles to fight a war. I don't want that. I want them to calm down. I want China to calm down."
Will you approve arms sales to Taiwan?
Trump: "I haven't approved it yet. We'll see what happens. I might do it, or I might not. But we don't want a war. If we maintain the status quo, I think China will accept it. But we don't want someone saying, 'Let's go towards independence because the United States supports us.'"
Does Xi Jinping like it when you don't approve arms sales?
Trump: “I’d say ‘like’ might be too strong a word because he thinks I can just sign it and get it done, unlike Biden who can’t sign it. I’m putting it on hold for now, it depends on China. It’s a great bargaining chip for us, honestly, it’s a lot of weapons, $14 billion, a lot of weapons. But you know, statistically speaking, China is a very powerful country, and that’s a very small island.”
“You think about it, they’re only 59 miles away, 59 miles, and we’re 9,500 miles away. It’s a bit of a difficult problem.”
“That being said, if you look at Taiwan’s history, Taiwan has developed into what it is today because some of our presidents didn’t know what they were doing. Because if they were to import chips…” "Imposing tariffs won't make them (the chip industry) leave. It's all about Intel and our chip companies; they stole our chip industry. I've said this for years: they stole our chips. If we had a president in the past who said, 'We will impose a 100% tariff on chips; you can leave, you can build factories in Taiwan, but when you sell them back to the U.S., we will impose a 100% or 200% tariff,' we would never have lost our chip industry. We lost our chip industry, and now they're all coming back."
"I want to emphasize that it would be very wise for Taiwan to de-escalate the situation slightly, and it would also be very wise for China to de-escalate the situation slightly. Both sides should remain calm."
