Or why couldn\u2019t Putin use that argument \u2014 same argument, it\u2019s a threat \u2014 to grab the rest of Ukraine or go beyond into other former Soviet states? Have you created a precedent that you may come to regret later on?\u201d \u201cNo, because this was a real threat. You didn\u2019t have people pouring into China. You didn\u2019t have drugs pouring into China. You didn\u2019t have all of the bad things that we\u2019ve had. You didn\u2019t have the jails of Taiwan opened up and the people pouring into China. There aren\u2019t that many people in the jails, but you didn\u2019t have hundreds of thousands of people coming from jails and mental institutions pouring into China, Taiwan, pouring, pouring into Russia.\u201d \u201cXi would tell you, Taiwan\u2019s a threat to China, that it\u2019s a separatist operation.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a source of pride for him. He considers it to be a part of China, and that\u2019s up to him what he\u2019s going to be doing. But I\u2019ve expressed to him that I would be very unhappy if he did that, and I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll do that. I hope he doesn\u2019t do that.\u201d \u201cSo you don\u2019t think you\u2019ve set a precedent in other countries?\u201d \u201cHe may do it after we have a different president, but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to do it with me as president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"css-hple31\">President Trump said that his actions in Venezuela did not set a precedent for other countries like Russia and China because he claimed he was responding to a \u201creal threat.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>January 8, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>new video loaded: Trump Says \u2018It\u2019s Up To\u2019 Xi Jinping What China Does In Taiwan transcript Back transcript Trump Says \u2018It\u2019s Up To\u2019 Xi Jinping What China Does In Taiwan President Trump said that his actions in Venezuela did not set a precedent for other countries like Russia and China because he claimed he was<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[2153,13964,8974,81],"class_list":{"0":"post-40913","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-crime-justice","8":"tag-china","9":"tag-jinping","10":"tag-taiwan","11":"tag-trump"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40913\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/40914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
