Trump told the New York Times: It's up to the Chinese president what his country will do in Taiwan.

CNN, remdamasis šaltiniais: Trumpas sąjungininkams ir vyresniesiems pareigūnams sakė norą neleisti Iranui, Rusijai ir Kinijai patekti į Vakarų pusrutulį.

Trumpas prisiėmė nuopelnus už tai, kad ragino NATO didinti gynybos išlaidas, ir pareiškė, kad „be mano dalyvavimo Rusija dabar turėtų visą Ukrainą", tuo pačiu metu tiesmukai kritikuodamas Nobelio komitetą už tai, kad jis neskyrė jam Nobelio taikos premijos. Trumpas taip pat užsimena, kad „vienintelė tauta, kurios Kinija ir Rusija bijo ir gerbia, yra DJT [Donaldas J. Trumpas] atstatyta JAV".

Kinija griežtai pasmerkė JAV už tai, kad jos nukreipė Venesuelos naftos eksportą iš Pekino į Vašingtoną, o ne į Pekiną, po to, kai prezidentas Trumpas pristatė planą perdirbti ir parduoti iki 50 milijonų barelių Venesuelos naftos, įstrigusios šalyje dėl JAV blokados.
