President Joe Biden vowed in an explosive 60 minutes interview on Sunday that the United States would use its own force to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island
* President Biden said he would use US soldiers to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island
* The comments came in the president's first 60 Minutes interview of his presidency, and the first television interview he has given in seven months
* Biden also declared the COVID-19 pandemic officially over, and refused to comment on whether or not he planned to run for reelection in 2024
Joe Biden has vowed the US military will defend Taiwan if China launches an invasion as he ramped up the rhetoric with Beijing over the tiny island nation.

WNU editor: The question was asked twice, and the U.S. President was very clear in his answer. The U.S. will defend China. I know my friends and contacts in China will be seeing this answer as a clear warning and threat directed at Beijing.

Here is an easy prediction. Expect a furious response from Beijing in the next few hours.
