A Japanese government source stated that U.S. President Donald Trump spoke to Sanae Takaichi in harsh terms during a phone call on the night of November 27, 2025, telling her something along the lines of 'Donāt meddle in the Taiwan issue,' according to Bunshun Online. Initial reports by Kyodo News and other Japanese media on December 5 described the call as Trump urging Takaichi, then acting as a senior official, to avoid escalation in a potential Sino-Japanese conflict over Taiwan. Bunshun's account, quoting the government source, provided the harsher phrasing, shared via X user @mrjeffu during the 2-hour-29-minute reporting window from 2:47 p.m. to 5:16 p.m. UTC on December 6. This revelation follows earlier coverage by Shukan Bunshun and builds on regional tensions highlighted in recent X posts, including footage of Chinese navy hypersonic missiles shared by @Clay_PLAPAP earlier on December 6, as previously reported.
