00:00I don't want to say that. I'm not going to say that. There's only one person that knows that. You
00:05know who it is? Me. I'm the only person.
00:08That question was asked to me today by President Xi. I said, I don't talk about that. He asked you
00:14today. He asked me if I defend them. I said, I don't talk about that.
00:22Did you talk to him about the cyber attack? The President Xi and I talked a lot about Taiwan. He
00:28thinks they cannot have anything to do with what they're doing. I mean, he's against very much what they're doing.
00:37We talked about Taiwan. We talked about Iran a lot. And I think we have a very good understanding of
00:42both.
00:44On Taiwan, he does not want to see a fight for independence because that would be a very strong confrontation.
00:53And I heard him out.
00:55Are you going to speak to the word? No, I didn't make a comment on it. I heard him out.
00:59Xi said there was a risk of conflict with the U.S. over Taiwan. No, no, I don't think so.
01:04I don't think so. I think we're going to be, I think we'll be fine.
01:07He doesn't want to see, he doesn't want to see a war. And you have two things. You have the
01:14Iranian situation. And that I think we agree almost entirely other than he's a buyer.
01:19And we're not. We don't need it. And on Taiwan, he doesn't want to see a movement for independence. He
01:26says, look, you know, we've had it for thousands of years.
01:28And then at a certain period of time it left that we were going to get it back. They had
01:32the Korean War. A lot of things happened.
01:34And all this. But, no, on Taiwan, he feels very strongly. I made no commitment either way. Let's see what
01:43happens.
01:44What about the arms sales to Taiwan?
01:47I'll make a determination over the next early short period.
01:50You're not necessarily going to go ahead. It was your proposal.
01:52I'm going to make a determination. I'm going to say, I have to speak to the person that right now
01:56is, you know, you know who he is, that's running Taiwan.
01:59Taiwan again. You said you were going to check with the president of Taiwan. But the 1982 assurances that President
02:06Reagan gave, said you would not, said the United States would not consult with China on arms sales to Taiwan.
02:14So it sounds to me like you have consulted with China.
02:17Well, I think 1982 is a long way.
02:19It was.
02:19That's a big, far decision to that.
02:22You dispensed with that?
02:22No, I didn't say anything about it. But certainly, you know, he brought that up. He talked about that to
02:28me, obviously. So what am I going to do? Say I don't want to talk to you about it. Because
02:32I have an agreement that was signed in 1982.
02:35No, we discussed arms sales, too.
02:38And what's his request?
02:39We discussed the Taiwan, you know, the whole thing with the arms sales. It was in great detail, actually. And
02:46I'll be making decisions.
02:48But, you know, I think the last thing we need right now is a war that's 9,500 miles away.
02:55I think that's the last thing we need. We're doing very well.
02:58With the U.S. to defend Taiwan, if it came to it?
03:00I don't want to say no. I'm not going to say that. There's only one person that knows that. You
03:06know who it is? Me. I'm the only person.
03:08That question was asked to me today by President Xi. I said, I don't talk about that.
03:14He asked you today. He asked you if you would send troops. He asked me if I defend them. I
03:20said, I don't talk about that.
03:21She tells him now. I don't talk about that.
03:23Did you talk to him about the cyber?
