Trump told the New York Times: It's up to the Chinese president what his country will do in Taiwan.
CNN, med hänvisning till källor: Trump har berättat för allierade och högt uppsatta tjänstemän om sin önskan att hålla Iran, Ryssland och Kina borta från västra halvklotet.
5 dag sedanTrump tog åt sig äran för att ha pressat NATO att öka sina försvarsutgifter och hävdade att "utan min inblandning skulle Ryssland ha hela Ukraina just nu", samtidigt som han skarpt kritiserade Nobelkommittén för att inte ge honom Nobels fredspris. Trump antyder också att "den enda nationen som Kina och Ryssland fruktar och respekterar är det återuppbyggda USA av Donald J. Trump".
Kina fördömde starkt USA för att ha omdirigerat venezuelansk oljeexport till Washington och bort från Peking, efter att president Trump presenterade en plan för att raffinera och sälja upp till 50 miljoner fat venezuelansk olja som fastnat i landet under en amerikansk blockad.
Det kinesiska utrikesministeriet: Vi uppmanar Washington att garantera den venezuelanska presidentens och hans frus säkerhet, omedelbart släppa dem och lösa frågan genom dialog.
