Former President Donald Trump hinted that he would not order a U.S. military intervention against China were it to attack Taiwan.
Hewitt began the foreign policy component of his interview by questioning Trump about the war in Ukraine. The former president said Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine had he won the 2022 election. As Trump put it,"Ukraine is so sad. Every time I turn it on, that was a war that I knew it was the apple of Putin’s eye. He would have never done it if the election weren’t rigged, our election. It was rigged and stolen.
This is a nonanswer. The truth is that neither Ramaswamy, Trump, nor any other president could break the Sino-Russian partnership. Not unless, that is, they were willing to abandon the best European allies to Russia and disintegrate the U.S.-led alliance structure . Trump responded,"I had a great, I had a great relationship with, I had great relationships with everyone. You don’t have to worry about Taiwan. If I’m president, Taiwan will never happen, meaning China will never go into Taiwan if I’m president, not even a chance." Note Trump's focus on relationships, even where those relationships fail to translate into tangible policy results.
As I see it, the key line here is:"There are other things you can do without going into a nuclear holocaust." This language suggests Trump's belief that a U.S. military intervention over Taiwan would be tantamount to nuclear war. What to make of this?
