In a stunning revelation, a leaked audio clip from a private fundraiser has exposed the aggressive foreign policy approach of Donald Trump. The audio, first reported by CNN, allegedly captures Trump recounting a conversation with Vladimir Putin where he made a direct threat to bomb Moscow if Russia were to invade Ukraine. Trump claims that while Putin may not have fully believed him, the threat was credible enough ("he believed me 10%"). This gives a rare insight into the high-stakes conversations that happened behind closed doors during his presidency.
The source of this explosive leak is reportedly a new book titled â2024,â written by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf. The authors claim to have obtained the audio from the fundraiser, where Trump was speaking candidly to wealthy donors. This 'unleashed' side of Trump was not limited to Russia. The same leaked audio reveals Trump made a similar threat to Chinese President Xi Jinping, warning he would bomb Beijing if China launched an invasion of Taiwan. "He thought I was crazy," Trump is heard saying on the tape.
These revelations come as Trump campaigns for the 2024 presidential election. He uses these anecdotes to argue that his aggressive and unpredictable negotiating style is what successfully prevented major global conflicts, specifically citing the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, which he claims would not have happened under his watch. The audio provides a stark look at the kind of "strongman" diplomacy Trump advocates for, a strategy he believes is necessary to prevent world powers from undermining the United States.

South China Sea Breaking: In a significant escalation of defensive capabilities, Taiwan has officially formed its first combat-ready HIMARS rocket unit. This move is designed to strengthen deterrence against increasing threats and military pressure from China. Taiwan's Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, lauded the new unit as a "significant boost" to the island's defensive power, underscoring the strategic importance of this deployment. The soldiers operating these advanced systems have completed specialized training in the United States, highlighting the close military cooperation between Washington and Taipei.
The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a game-changer for Taiwan's military. It can fire six 227mm rockets or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile, the latter boasting a range of up to 300 kilometers. This impressive range means that key military and strategic targets deep within mainland China's coastal provinces are now potentially within Taiwan's strike capability. Reports suggest that Taiwan may have already acquired these long-range ATACMS missiles, a detail that is sure to alarm military planners in Beijing.
This deployment is part of a larger arms deal with the U.S., with 11 of a total 29 HIMARS systems already delivered. The move aligns with America's broader strategy to build a strong coalition in the Indo-Pacific to counter China's growing military and economic dominance. While the HIMARS system has proven its devastating effectiveness in the Ukraine conflict, analysts note that China's more advanced air defense systems could pose a greater challenge. The activation of this unit comes as Chinese military aircraft and vessels continue to cross the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, prompting regular intrusion warnings from Taipei and keeping the region on high alert.

Planned Parenthood is under serious threat as Republicans move closer than ever to cutting its federal Medicaid funding. A surprise Senate ruling has allowed the GOP to include the defunding measure in their sweeping megabillâwithout needing to overcome a filibuster. Democrats are outraged, warning itâs a direct attack on womenâs health and reproductive rights. With $792 million in funding at stake, and abortion access on the line, the battle over Planned Parenthood is reaching a boiling point.

President Lai Ching-te marked one year in office with a powerful message: Taiwan wants peace with Chinaâbut not at the cost of realism or sovereignty. In his speech, Lai emphasized that only Taiwanâs people can determine the islandâs future, calling for dialogue based on âreciprocal dignity.â China, however, rejected his offer, branding him a âTaiwan Strait crisis maker.â Amid rising tensions, Taiwanâs coastguard has reported security breaches from the mainland. Lai also noted progress in ongoing tariff talks with the U.S., signaling diplomatic engagement on multiple fronts.
