Henry Gao(@henrysgao):A lot of people are taking Trump’s “I’m not looking for that” comment to mean that the US would not support Taiwan in a war. That’s totally wrong. He said almost exactly the same thing in 2019 when asked about war with Iran — and we all know what followed. As adults, there are many things you don’t “look for,” like getting up early every morning. But when the time comes, you still do what needs to be done.

NOW - Trump on China and Taiwan: "I'm not looking to have somebody go independent. And, you know, we're supposed to travel 9,500 miles to fight a war? I'm not looking for that."
