Just prior to this evenings dinner at Versailles in France, hosted by President @EmmanuelMacron—President @realDonaldTrump signed the Iran Memorandum of Understanding, once Secretary Rubio received it…
“A pretty key moment in history we are sharing together…” @SecRubio
🚨 WOW! President Trump reveals he got China to BACK OFF meaningfully supporting Iran, which helped America in the war
RESPECTED!
"I want to thank China, President Xi, and he stayed neutral, totally neutral, and I appreciate it, and I want to thank Vladimir Putin. He was very neutral."
"They could've made it much more difficult for us! I want to say it. Let me tell you. I had a long talk with Xi. They have weapons to knock down planes...I said, I'd appreciate you not giving or selling that stuff to Iran. You know what? For the most part, HE DIDNT!"
I had a good discussion with KMT Chair Cheng Li-wun today. I’m a strong advocate for the US-Taiwan relationship, regardless of politics in Taiwan. But, as I told her, we need KMT to join with the DPP to finish the defense budget and support the Alaska LNG project.
Taiwan’s Coast Guard Administration says five Chinese government vessels, including Haixun 06, Haixun 08, Haixun 09, Donghai Jiu 113, and CCG 2202, operated east of Taiwan and broadcast inquiries about port entry to three passing merchant cargo ships while falsely asserting jurisdiction.
According to Taiwan’s CGA, Haixun 06 queried a Singapore-flagged vessel near Eluanbi on June 7, a Liberian-flagged vessel east of Suao on June 9, and a Benin-flagged vessel east of Sandiaojiao later the same morning.
Taiwanese Coast Guard vessels warned the Chinese ships that they had no jurisdiction in Taiwan’s EEZ and told the merchant vessels to maintain normal navigation and ignore the Chinese broadcasts.

My family escaped Communism to come to the U.S.
Today in the Oval Office, I asked President Trump why he's warning Americans about Communism in a new statement. His response was powerful:
“You're going to get free rent, you're going to get free houses, you're going to get free food, you're going to get free everything, but eventually that ends, and it leads to death, destruction, and squalor 100% of the time.”
On Mayor Mamdani in NYC: “I don't understand why he thinks it's okay for all these companies that pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes a year to leave, because you're not going to have any tax base.”
“Free enterprise is tougher to sell, but that's what's made our country great, and that's why it's great again now.”
China has made lavish promises to countries in the Western Hemisphere in an effort to poach Taiwan’s partners. As Chair of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee, I’ve prioritized safeguarding Taiwan’s diplomatic partnerships in the region. Good talking with @SecRubio on strengthening Taiwan’s relations in Latin America.
Delighted to see my friend #Czech Senate President @Vystrcil_Milos back in #Taiwan. President Vystrčil has stood firmly with Taiwan in defense of our shared democratic values & has been key to growing our bilateral partnership. President Vystrčil, you are always welcome in Taiwan!
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says a $14 billion package for Taiwan is under review by the White House and has not yet been approved, amid questions from lawmakers about timing and U.S. policy toward China.
“We are just coming off the heels of a very large sale in December of last year,” Rubio said. “So, there are a variety of reasons why these things don't happen immediately.”
