United States Troops Will Defend Taiwan Against China - US President Joe Biden
When asked if “US forces [...] would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion," the President gave a simple “yes." (60 Minutes)
Washington continues to claim it doesn't support formal independence for Taipei, but Biden did little to play down tensions with Beijing.“Taiwan makes their own judgement about independence,” he said.
Other highlights during the interview saw the president apparently cast doubt on an earlier pledge to run again in 2024 - now saying it is “much too early” to make the call.
He was also quizzed about critics calling him too old for the Oval Office... "Watch me." As audiences then watched him squirm to try play down record inflation.
