Date set for Trump and Harris to face off in live broadcast

Former US President and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made his first public appearance since Vice President Kamala Harris officially became the Democratic Party's nominee and selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. During a press conference at his luxury estate, Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump issued a warning about World War III.

Speaking of the threat of an economic crisis similar to that of 1929, Trump described a country occupied by migrants arriving from the southern US-Mexico border.

Arguing that US President Joe Biden is the worst president the country has ever seen, Trump stated, "I think our country is in a more dangerous position now, both economically and in terms of security, than it has ever been." Trump also claimed that Harris is "at the very bottom of the list among number twos."

DATE ANNOUNCED

Announcing that he had reached agreements with US broadcasters, Trump said he was ready to debate Harris on live television on September 4, 10, and 25 on Fox News, NBC, and ABC. Stating that he had received approval from the broadcasters, Trump said he was awaiting a response from Harris's election campaign.

Trump announced that the debate between vice-presidential candidates JD Vance of the Republican Party and Tim Walz of the Democratic Party would be broadcast by CBS News, though he did not provide a date for this duel.

Meanwhile, shortly after Trump's statement, ABC News announced that Trump and Harris had agreed to participate in a live broadcast on September 10.

"PEOPLE NEED GUNS"

Emphasizing that being the target of an armed assassination attempt had not changed his views on gun control, Trump said, "People need guns to defend themselves." Twenty-six days after narrowly surviving the assassination attempt, Trump pointed out that violent crimes are also committed in cities that enforce local gun control laws. Trump accused Harris of "wanting to take people's guns away."
