US : President Donald Trump “I don’t need international law”
US: In an interview with The New York Times, US President Donald Trump dismissed international law. With a focus on ownership, he discussed NATO and Greenland while implying that China would not act against Taiwan until Trump became president.
The US President said that only his thoughts could stop him when the New York Times questioned him about any restrictions on his worldwide influence.Yes, there is one thing. My personal ethics. My own thoughts. There’s nothing else that can stop me. He emphasized, “I don’t need international law; I’m not looking to hurt people.”
When asked whether his government had to follow international law, Trump responded to the New York Times by saying, “I do.” According to the source, Trump said that he would decide whether or not the US would be subject to these restrictions. “It depends what your definition of international law is,” he said.
Regarding China and Taiwan, Trump told the New York Times, “That’s up to him, what he’s going to be doing,” in response to a question about Xi Jinping’s perception of Taiwan as a separatist danger to China. However, I’ve told him that I would be really upset if he did that, and I don’t believe he will. I hope he doesn’t.
Trump said that the Chinese president will not take such actions while he is in office in response to the current events between China and Taiwan and the threat to suffocate Taiwan.Trump said, “I don’t think he’s going to do it with me as president, but he might do it after we have a different president.”
When asked which was more important to him, gaining Greenland or maintaining NATO, Trump agreed that “it may be a choice.””Ownership is crucial,” he said.
“Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success,” Trump told the New York Times when asked why he needed to own the land. You’re talking about a lease or a treaty, and I believe that ownership offers you something that you can’t do with. When you sign a paper, you don’t obtain the objects and components that come with ownership.
He said, “I think we’ll always get along with Europe, but I want them to shape up,” in reference to the continent. I am the one who persuaded them to increase their GDP for NATO. However, if you look at NATO, I can see that Russia is just interested in us. I have been devoted to Europe. I performed well. Russia would now control all of Ukraine if it weren’t for me.”
US Vice President JD Vance said earlier Thursday that President Trump’s remarks on Greenland should be taken seriously by European leaders, given the “hostile adversaries” who are expressing interest in the area. Vance said that if Europe didn’t take its security more seriously, the US would have to “do something about it” and that it was crucial for both American and global missile defense.
