New Threat From Donald Trump: “I Will Disable Iran’s Bridges and Electricity Capacity Within Two Fays”

According to a report by Saed News Service and Fars News Agency, U.S. President Donald Trump made strong remarks about Taiwan in an interview with Fox News after returning from China.

Trump said that the Taiwan issue has been a top priority for Chinese President Xi Jinping since his first meeting with him 12 years ago.

He claimed that China would not dare take any action against Taiwan while he remains in power, adding that “if I were not there, China might have done something regarding Taiwan.”

Following extensive meetings and praise for Xi Jinping, Trump left Beijing for Washington on Friday afternoon. He also stated that Xi had acted very well regarding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, and that he told Beijing the United States does not need any assistance concerning Iran or maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump further claimed that China depends on the Strait of Hormuz for 40 percent of its oil supply, and said the Chinese president agreed with him on the need to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

Addressing global oil prices, Trump said he was prepared to accept oil prices as high as $200 per barrel in order to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, which he claimed would eventually be used against the United States.

He added that Iran’s nuclear threat would target Israel, the Middle East, and Europe, and said he had done Europe a “great favor,” calling the rise in fuel prices temporary and necessary to prevent what he described as a catastrophic threat.

Trump also stated that the Strait of Hormuz would remain open, and that the United States would ensure Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons, maintaining global stability.

He further claimed that Iran could not use the Strait of Hormuz as a weapon against him.

In response to a Fox News host’s question about whether he had underestimated Iran, Trump said he had not underestimated anything, adding: “I could disable their bridges and power capacity within two days.”
