(Observer News) On April 30, local time, the American Times Weekly published an exclusive interview with former US President Trump on the title "If he won".Trump refused to disclose whether the United States should "defend Taiwan" and reiterate that the United States will not help "do not pay" allies.When talking about the lawsuit he was facing, Trump said that internal enemies in the United States were more dangerous than foreign opponents like China and Russia.
Trump told Times Weekly that the host would not provide assistance if the European or Asian allies in the United States did not have enough defense.
Trump said at a campaign rally in South Carolina on February 10 that he would "encourage" Russia to "do whatever he wants" for NATO allies who did not fulfill their financial obligations.Shocking and chaotic. "
The host mentioned these remarks and said, "If Russia attacked a NATO country that you think of insufficient defense expenditure," will the United States provide assistance?
Trump replied that he hoped that NATO allies would pay, but this was what the main point of negotiation."I said to them, if you don't pay, then rely on yourself, we will not protect you ... This is how you speak as a negotiator. I am negotiating because I want them to pay." He added that Europe and NATO have accounted for cheap in the United States on the issue of Ukraine. If even European countries do not spend money to support Ukraine, why do the United States pay?Compared to the United States across the Atlantic Ocean, European countries are much greater influenced by Russia and Ukraine's conflict.
Immediately after the host turned his words to Asia, he asked Trump whether the United States should defend Taiwan if mainland China attack Taiwan.
"I have been asked many times in this question." Trump said he refused to give a clear reply because he didn't want to disclose his hole card.
"Although I want to make public statements, I have never done so because I don't want to lose the negotiation ability because I don't want any reporter to provide such information." He said, "If you really stand up in some way, issue a statement in some wayThis will make you in a very bad situation. "
In an interview with Fox News in January this year, Trump also answered the issue of Taiwan -related questions. He refused to reveal whether the United States would help "defend Taiwan."He said that standing from the "president" was unable to say what he thought, because once he said it, it would be in an unfavorable position when negotiations.
The host then talked about the issue of the cost of the US military in Korea.Trump responded that the United States may now withdraw troops from South Korea because South Korea is a "very wealthy country", but it has rarely paid any costs for 40,000 US soldiers in South Korea."I hope South Korea can treat us correctly."
However, when talking about Israel, Trump gives much more support.He said that the United States would intervene in the outbreak of Iran and Israel.Trump said he wanted Israel to resolve his conflict with Hamas as soon as possible.But he did not answer whether he would put pressure on Israel by detaining assistance.
Trump is currently facing criminal lawsuits, and has also been issued by the court.Trump said that the "ban" made him unable to express his opinions on many important issues and violated the US Constitution.
"You know, we are talking about internal enemies. In many cases, for our country, internal enemies are more dangerous than China, Russia, and other external enemies." He said, "If you said," IfThe president is an excellent, reliable and suitable candidate, so you will not have major problems with China, Russia or other countries, but patients within our country will still bring problems.
