Donald Trump says he is "not worried" by China's large-scale military drills around Taiwan. The U.S. president added that he has a "great relationship" with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. China's military began surprise live-fire exercises on Monday, simulating an attack on Taiwan. The drills continued into Tuesday with live missile launches into the Taiwan Strait. President Trump stated that Xi Jinping did not notify him about the war games in advance. "He hasn't told me anything about it," Trump said. Taiwan governs itself, but China claims the island as part of its territory. These drills are seen as a significant show of force.
