President Trump is once again showing the strength and wisdom that made America great in the first place. As he travels across Asia, he is taking bold steps to protect the American people and restore our nation’s standing in the world. This week, he is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and even before the meeting begins, we are seeing signs of real leadership.
At a dinner hosted by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, President Trump was overheard on a hot mic discussing the upcoming meeting with Xi. While the official schedule allowed for only two hours, President Trump revealed that the meeting might last three to four hours. This tells us something important. He is not going to rush through this. He is putting in the time to get it right. That’s what a true leader does.
President Trump said the meeting would be “very, very satisfactory to China and to us.” That is how diplomacy should work—not with weakness, not by giving in to globalist demands, but by making deals that benefit America first. Unlike the failed politicians of the past, President Trump understands how to deal with powerful nations like China. He doesn’t bow down. He sits down as an equal and speaks from a place of strength.
There’s a lot on the table in this meeting. One of the most important issues is the deadly fentanyl crisis. For years, China has allowed chemicals used to make fentanyl to flow into our country. This poison has destroyed families and communities all across America. President Trump has made it clear that he expects China to help stop this. He even said he’s willing to lower tariffs if China takes serious steps to shut down the fentanyl trade. That’s smart leadership—using economic pressure to get results that protect American lives.
Another issue is trade. China has been taking advantage of our country for decades through unfair trade practices. They flood our markets with cheap goods, steal our technologies, and hoard rare-earth minerals that are vital to our industries. President Trump is not afraid to tackle these problems head-on. He has already stood up to China in the past with strong tariffs and tough negotiations, and now he’s doing it again. He’s fighting for American workers and American businesses.
President Trump may also ask Xi Jinping to help pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. While China and Russia have grown closer in recent years, President Trump knows how to use those relationships to our advantage. He doesn’t play games. He sees the big picture and works to bring peace through strength.
Some people asked whether Trump would bring up Taiwan, the island nation that China claims as its own. President Trump answered simply, “Taiwan is Taiwan.” That may seem like a small statement, but it means a lot. It shows that President Trump isn’t going to get dragged into unnecessary fights. He knows how to choose his battles. His focus is on protecting America, not getting involved in endless disputes that don’t help our country.
President Trump also spoke about North Korea during his visit to South Korea. He reminded everyone that he has a strong personal relationship with Kim Jong Un. While there is no official meeting scheduled, Trump made it clear that he is always open to dialogue. He believes things will work out well. And frankly, if anyone can keep North Korea in check, it’s Donald Trump.
This trip proves once again that President Trump is the right man for the job. He is respected by world leaders and feared by those who wish us harm. He doesn’t apologize for America. He stands up for it. At a time when our nation faces threats from every direction—drugs, foreign wars, unfair trade—we need a president who puts America first.
That’s exactly what we have in Donald J. Trump. And we thank God for it.
