Donald J Trump Posts TruthSocial (@TruthTrumpPost)

UPDATE: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 President Trump’s team reportedly can’t carry their regular phones during official visits to China. U.S. officials use temporary devices because anything entering the country, including phones, laptops, and tablets, is considered vulnerable to surveillance or data collection. Even hotel Wi-Fi networks and charging ports are treated as security risks, as per the Daily Mail.

Speaker Johnson: There are little Mamdanis popping up all around the country, and they're openly avowed socialist Marxist ideology. This is something that we have never seen before in American history.

President Trump: 🇨🇳🇺🇸 He said he's not going to give military equipment. But at the same time, he said, you know, they buy a lot of their oil there, and they'd like to keep doing that. He'd like to see Hormuz straight opened.

Question: What exactly did President Trump ask President Xi for when it comes to Iran? SEC RUBIO: He didn't ask him for anything. I mean, we're not asking for China's help. We don't need their help.

President Trump posts on TruthSocial: When President Xi very elegantly referred to the United States as perhaps being a declining nation, he was referring to the tremendous damage we suffered during the four years of Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden Administration, and on that score, he was 100% correct. Our Country suffered immeasurably with open borders, high taxes, transgender for everybody, men in women’s sports, DEI, horrible trade deals, rampant crime, and so much more!  President Xi was not referring to the incredible rise that the United States has displayed to the world during the 16 spectacular months of the Trump Administration, which includes all-time high stock markets and 401K’s, military victory and thriving relationship in Venezuela, the military decimation of Iran (to be continued!) — Strongest military on earth by far, economic powerhouse again, with a record 18 trillion dollars being invested into the United States by others, best U.S. job market in history, with more people working in the United States right now than ever before, ending country destroying DEI, and so many other things that it would be impossible to readily list. In fact, President Xi congratulated me on so many tremendous successes in such a short period of time. Two years ago, we were, in fact, a Nation in decline. On that, I fully agree with President Xi! But now, the United States is the hottest Nation anywhere in the world, and hopefully our relationship with China will be stronger and better than ever before!

Commander Adm. Brad Cooper on IRAN: Their capability has been significantly degraded. If I just use my own professional experience, in 100 transits through the Strait of Hormuz, you would typically see 20-40 fast-boats.

President Trump: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 President Xi would like to see a deal made. He would like to see a deal made. And he did offer, he said, if I can be of any help at all, I would like to be of help. Anybody that buys that much oil has obviously got some kind of a relationship... But he said, I would love to be of help.

WATCH: Elon Musk was seen with his son, X Æ A-Xii, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Originally named X Æ A-12, the name was modified to comply with California birth certificate laws, which prohibit digits, changing "12" to the Roman numerals "Xii"

QUESTION: China wants to invade Taiwan? SEC RUBIO: China's preference is probably to have Taiwan willingly, voluntarily join them. it's featured prominently in President Xi's mandate...they call reunification, that's what they call it, is something that has to happen at some point. We think it would be a terrible mistake to force that through force or anything of that nature.
