"Many people are saying" Trump call took "months" to plan. It was beautiful. Many months. To plan.



Trump’s team is lying about Taiwan call: It reportedly took months to plan

However, Trump advisor Stephen Yates — a former national security official under Pres. George W. Bush — said that establishing contact with Taiwan has been high on the transition team’s list of priorities.

“Very early on, Taiwan was on that list,” Yates told the Post. “Once the call was scheduled, I was told that there was a briefing for President-elect Trump. They knew that there would be reaction and potential blowback.”

Tsai spokesman Alex Huang told Reuters, “Of course both sides agreed ahead of time before making contact.”

Trump’s mouthpieces and defenders say that all head-of-state calls with the president-elect have been well-planned and cleared through the proper diplomatic channels, but on Sunday, Secretary of State John Kerry said that Trump made no efforts to contact the State Department before the calls.
