Mar-a-lago: U.S. President Donald Trump expressed a lack of concern over China's military exercises around Taiwan, stating that he had not received prior notification from Chinese President Xi Jinping about the operations. During a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump addressed reporters' questions regarding the situation, emphasizing his belief that Xi would not proceed with actions that would escalate tensions.

According to Focus Taiwan, the exercises, named "Justice Mission-2025," were announced by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command. The two-day drills aim to encircle Taiwan and its outlying islands within the Taiwan Strait, a move that has been perceived by Taiwan as an intrusion into its territorial waters and airspace.

President Trump reassured that he was "not worried" about the rising tensions, highlighting that China has conducted naval operations in the region for the past two decades. He downplayed the significance of the current exercises, suggesting continuity rather than escalation in China's military activities around Taiwan.
