Eric Daugherty(@EricLDaugh):🚨 President Trump just went FULL ART OF THE DEAL MODE, he's using the yet-to-be-approved $12B in arms to Taiwan as a bargaining chip with Xi! "He thinks I could do it with the signing of my signature. I am holding that. It depends on China. It's a VERY good negotiating chip for us, frankly! It's a LOT of weapons, $12B." "I may do it. I may not do it. But we're not looking to have wars." "And if you kept it the way it is, I think China's going to be okay with that." "But when you look at the odds, China is a very, very powerful big country. That's a very small island. Think of it. 59 miles, we're 9,500 miles away."
