President Trump did a sit-down interview with ’60 Minutes’ with correspondent Norah O’Donnell.

This is President Trump’s first interview with ’60 Minutes’ in five years.

President Trump discussed his recent trip to Asia and his high-stakes trade meeting with China’s Xi Jinping.

“One potential flashpoint with China, probably the potential flashpoint with China in the coming years, is over the issue of Taiwan,” O’Donnell said to President Trump.

Could you order US forces to defend Taiwan?” Norah O’Donnell asked Trump.

President Trump replied, “You’ll find out if it happens. And [Xi] understands the answer to that.”

Trump told Norah O’Donnell that Xi never even brought up Taiwan.

“He never brought it up. People were a little surprised at that,” Trump said.

Trump said China knows what will happen if they try to invade Taiwan.

“Why not just say it?” Norah O’Donnell asked Trump.

“I can’t give away my secrets!” Trump said. “I’m not somebody that tells you everything because you’re asking me a question!”

“I’m not gonna be one of those guys who tells you exactly what’s gonna happen if something happens. The other side knows,” Trump said.

“But they understand what’s gonna happen. He has openly said, and his people have openly said at meetings, ‘We would never do anything while President Trump is president,’ because they know the consequences,” Trump said.
