THIS is the shocking moment President Donald Trump threatens to “bomb the s*** out of Moscow and Beijing,” with Vladimir Putin’s stunned reaction uncovered.
A recording of a private meeting during a fundraiser appears to expose what Trump actually told Russia and China in phone calls in his first term.
The audio from 2024 captures Don revealing what he apparently said to mad Vlad during his presidency between 2017 and 2021.
He’s heard saying: “With Putin I said, ‘If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the s*** out of Moscow. I’m telling you I have no choice.'”
Trump then claims gobsmacked Putin responded: “I don’t believe you, no way.”
To which Don bluntly spat back: “Way.”
Later in the explosive recording, the President is also heard asserting he issued a similar warning to China’s President Xi Jinping regarding an invasion of Taiwan.
Trump appears to say: “I said the same thing to them, I said, ‘If you go into Taiwan I’m going to bomb the s*** out of Beijing.’
“He thought I was crazy. He said ‘Beijing! You can’t even bomb [inaudible].’
“I said, ‘I have no choice’. He believed me 10 per cent… and we never had a problem.”
The astonishing remarks have been revealed in a series of audio recordings made while the Republican was on his campaign trail at fundraisers in New York and Florida.
They were obtained by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf, who then shared the audio recordings with CNN.
In the latest of Trump’s expletive comments, on Tuesday the raging President slammed Putin for talking “bull****” about the Ukraine war and making “meaningless” promises.
It came imminently after he vowed to send more weapons to Ukraine as he appears to be growing increasingly frustrated with the Russian tyrant.
“We get a lot of bull**** thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth,” Trump told reporters during a televised cabinet meeting at the White House.
“He’s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.”
Trump reiterated that he was “very unhappy” with Putin since their phone call last week made no progress on the Ukraine peace deal – something the US president has pushed for since returning to power.
But Putin has snubbed peace and is instead steadily increasing his overnight bombing raids – which could soon hit 1,000 a day.
Trump’s criticism of Putin came a day after he said he would send more weapons to Ukraine – a sweeping reversal of Washington’s announcement last week that it was halting some arms shipments.
The White House confirmed on July 1 that shipments of certain air defence missiles and other precision bombs to Ukraine had been stopped because of concerns about dwindling weapons stockpiles.
However, Trump reversed the decision, adding: “We’re going to send some more weapons.
“We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now.”
“We’re going to have to send more weapons, defensive weapons, primarily.”
Moscow had no immediate reaction to Trump’s strongly worded comments about Putin, but the Kremlin said that sending arms to Ukraine only serves to prolong the conflict.
“It is obvious of course that these actions probably do not align with attempts to promote a peaceful resolution,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying in a briefing.
And the US Defence Secretary said in May that China is “credibly preparing” for a military invasion of Taiwan and the attack is “real and imminent”.
Pete Hegeseth said that Communist Beijing was “rehearsing for the real deal” and described the looming threat as a “wake-up call” for the world.
Speaking at the annual Singapore defence forum Shangri-la Dialogue, Hegeseth said China was preparing to use military force to upend the balance of power.
The Pentagon boss also accused Beijing of carrying out cyber attacks, harassing its neighbours, and “illegally seizing and militarising lands” in the South China Sea.
Three ways China could seize Taiwan in ‘unstoppable’ attack
By Sayan Bose, Foreign News Reporter
WITH an overwhelming military force, advanced warfare techniques and a fragmenting West, Xi Jinping will likely feel more confident than ever to seize Taiwan, experts warn.
And if China does decide to attack, it’s feared it will go in with “full force” using three major military strategies that would wreak havoc on the island.
Military experts have long believed China is planning to use sea blockades to cut off the island – forcing them to surrender when military supplies dwindle.
Currently, China has a whopping 2.1 million active soldiers and a further, 1.17 million reserve personnel in its army.
It is a stark contrast to Taiwan’s forces, which just has a little over 160,000 soldiers.
Others believe Beijing will pour its forces onto Taiwan’s “red beaches” and attack on land.
Experts told The Sun that China would likely combine blitzing aerial strikes to disable Taiwan’s defences with naval forces encircling the island.
Defence experts say it’s the “perfect moment” for Xi’s long-standing ambition to reunify Taiwan with the Chinese mainland – and it could launch an attack as soon as 2027.
The unpredictability of US foreign policy under Donald Trump has created fears that Chinese President Xi would use the opportunity to invade Taiwan.
Experts say the dictator is happy with a fragmenting West and the US saying it’s not interested in being the kind of security ally it was.
