President Donald Trump pushed back on “60 Minutes” host Norah O’Donnell during an interview that aired Sunday evening, chastising her for trying to get him to publicly broadcast secret military information.

O’Donnell pressed the president on a potential conflict that could arise with China if the United States were to take action in defense of Taiwan, and then pressed even harder when Trump kept his answers on the subject as vague as possible.

“One potential flash point with China, probably the potential flash point with China in the coming years, is over the issue of Taiwan,” O’Donnell said. “The Chinese military is encroaching on Taiwan’s sea lanes, its airspace, its cyberspace. I know you have said that Xi Jinping wouldn’t dare move militarily on Taiwan while you’re in office. But what if he does? Would you order U.S. forces to defend Taiwan?”

“You’ll find out if it happens. And he understands the answer to that,” Trump replied.

“Why not say it —” O’Donnell asked.

Trump did not answer but instead noted that when he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the topic was never broached — largely, he claimed, because they already understood each other.

“This never even came up yesterday, as a subject. He never brought it up. People were a little surprised at that. He never brought it up, because he understands it, and he understands it very well,” Trump explained. “Taiwan is a very interesting case. It’s 69 miles away from China. We’re 9,500 miles away. But that doesn’t matter. He understands — what will happen. He and I have spoken about it. But it was never even brought up during a two and a ha — or two-and-a-half-hour meeting we had yesterday.”

“Do you mind if I ask, when you say, ‘He understands,’ why not communicate that publicly to the rest of us? What does he understand that —” O’Donnell tried again.

“Well — I don’t want to give away — I can’t give away my secrets,” Trump shot back. “I don’t want to be one of these guys that tells you exactly what’s gonna happen if something happens. The other side knows, but — I’m not somebody that tells you everything because you’re asking me a question. But they understand what’s gonna happen. And — he has openly said, and his people have openly said at meetings, ‘We would never do anything while President Trump is president,’ because they know the consequences.”

The terror group Hamas returned what it said were three bodies of hostages to Israel on Sunday.

Hamas militants gave the remains, which it said were the bodies of three Israeli soldiers, over to the Red Cross, which brought them into Israel. The prime minister’s office said that the remains would be taken to the Ministry of Health’s National Center for Forensic Medicine for identification.

“All of the hostages’ families have been updated accordingly, and our hearts are with them in this difficult hour. The effort to return our hostages is ongoing and will not cease until the last hostage is returned,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement. “The public is requested to respect the families’ privacy and to refrain from spreading rumors and unofficial and unverified information.”

The hostage release comes just days after the terror group claimed to have found the remains of three other hostages that it turned over to the Red Cross. Forensic testing conducted on the bodies confirmed that none of the remains belonged to any of the hostages remaining in Gaza, however.

Hamas and Israel struck a ceasefire agreement last month in which Israel agreed to pull back forces from inner Gaza and Hamas agreed to turn over all of its hostages back to Israel, 20 living and 28 dead. While the living were returned, the terror group has returned just 16 of the dead. If the three bodies turned over on Sunday are confirmed, eight more will be left for Hamas to hand over.

Hamas has claimed that it needs time to find the bodies of hostages, which it has said have been buried in some cases below rubble. Drone footage released last week showed Hamas militants burying remains that were soon dug up again and handed over to the Red Cross.

Israel has accused the terror group of being in breach of the ceasefire agreement for failing to return the hostages. Israel has also conducted strikes within Gaza twice since the ceasefire went into place in retaliation for attacks that have killed several Israeli soldiers.

The Trump administration, which mediated the ceasefire and potential peace proposal between Israel and Hamas, has tamped down concerns that the tit-for-tat strikes will threaten the ceasefire.

“The president achieved a historic peace in the Middle East, the ceasefire is holding. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t going to be little skirmishes here and there,” Vice President JD Vance said last week. “We know that Hamas, or somebody else within Gaza, attacked an IDF soldier. We expect the Israelis are going to respond, but I think the president’s peace is going to hold despite it.”
