Pompeo: China Saw that Trump Was Serious with Protecting Taiwan and Did that to the Rest of the World

‘Those two things, President Trump was very clear, prepared to defend’

EXCERPT:

POMPEO: "What we did for four years, Sean, was make clear to the people of Taiwan that we would be there to support them, to provide what they needed so they could defend themselves, and we made clear to the Chinese Communist Party that it was completely unacceptable if they took military action against the island of Taiwan. Those two basic facts were things President Trump was very clear, he was prepared to defend. They could see that we did that elsewhere in the world, when we struck Qasem Soleimani, when we fired rockets into Syria when they used chemical weapons, crossing President Trump’s red line. I think they all knew that we were serious about protecting Americans. I think they realize that the debacle in Afghanistan, the fact the Iranians fired missiles from the Gaza Strip into Israel, have all shown American weakness.”
