‘Taiwan is off limits': Donald Trump sends ‘strong message' to China
Sky News contributor Kristin Tate says US President Donald Trump is trying to 'send a message' to China through US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth that Taiwan is 'off limits'. Defence Minister Richard Marles met with Mr Hegseth on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore last week to discuss the key priorities of the US-Australia alliance in the face of a potential Chinese offensive in Taiwan within the next two years. 'Taiwan is strategically critical for the Western hemisphere – it's the most important supplier of high-tech semiconductors in the world,' Ms Tate told Sky News host Chris Kenny. 'Trump is sending a strong message, and I think the Chinese are going to take that message very seriously.'

'I just wanted to underscore the point here, there is a real chance that the former president of the United States, Joe Biden, had terminal cancer during his presidency, and we, the American people, were lied to about it for years.

Trump's call with Putin branded a ‘positive step' towards peace in Ukraine
Sky News contributor Kristin Tate described US President Donald Trump's extended phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin as a 'positive step' toward achieving a ceasefire in Ukraine. 'Do I think this will all be over imminently? I hope so, but no, this is likely just a step in the right direction,' Ms Tate told Sky News host Chris Kenny. 'As I've been saying since Trump took office, this issue is much more nuanced and complicated than I suspect he believed when he was on the campaign trail. 'But yes, this is a great step in the right direction.'
