Donald Trump has turned his criticism towards President Joe Biden, claiming that he prevented the Ukraine conflict from escalating into World War III. Trump argues that the current administration’s failures have prolonged the war and that he had significantly reduced tensions while in office. His current focus is on finding a resolution to the ongoing conflict.
Trump stated that when he took office, relations between the Biden administration and Moscow were at a low point. He highlighted his efforts to re-establish diplomatic ties. Discussing the Ukraine war, Trump suggested that he had significantly improved the situation and that a resolution could be reached quickly.
Trump has repeatedly referred to the Ukraine conflict as a consequence of the Biden administration’s actions, criticizing the military support provided to Ukraine. He has also expressed concerns about the financial cost, estimating approximately $350 billion. Furthermore, he indicated he was considering using mineral agreements with Kyiv to compensate for these costs. However, the mineral resources are located in areas that have since voted to join Russia.
