''I think the last thing we need right now is a war that's 9,500 miles away."
Q: "The 1982 assurances that Reagan gave [Taiwan] said the U.S. would not consult with China on armed sales to Taiwan. It sounds to me like you have consulted with China?"
Trump: "Well, I think 1982 is a long way. That's a big far distance away…[Xi] brought that up, he talked about it to me, obviously. What am I gonna do, say I don't want to talk to you about it because I have an agreement signed in 1982? No, we discussed arms sales to Taiwan…I'll be making decisions, but you know, I think the last thing we need right now is a war that's 9,500 miles away."
