Barack Obama actually said...

"The U.S. should support and participate in ongoing efforts with our allies and partners in the region to assemble an international coalition."

"I share that view and believe that it is important that the United States seek to rebuild a relationship of trust with Taiwan, and support for Taiwan's robust democracy."

"It is in America's national interest to continue to support activities that are measurable successes, are consistent with our values, and improve our security."

"The President-elect is committed to a strengthened and enhanced role for foreign assistance and development in our foreign policy, as am I."
