Former President Trump said Tuesday that “China’s going to be next” to move aggressively on the world stage after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into eastern Ukraine.

During an appearance on “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show” at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump said Chinese President Xi Jinping will take Russia’s actions against Ukraine as a signal to try and take back Taiwan.

Trump blamed President Biden for the “disaster” in Ukraine and said “this never would have happened” under his administration.

“They’re waiting until after the Olympics,” he said of the Chinese government. “Now the Olympics ended, and look at your stopwatch, right? [Xi] wants that.” 

“It’s almost like twin sisters right here, because you have one that wants Taiwan, I think equally badly – somebody said, ‘Who wants it more?’ I think probably equally badly,” he said, comparing Xi to Putin. Read more and see video here.
