U.S. President Donald Trump made assessments regarding the current agenda in statements to reporters aboard Air Force One.
Describing Russia's attack on Sumy as "terrible" and stating that the war is a "horrible" situation in general, Trump said, "If I were president, this country would never have allowed the war to start. This war is a disgrace."
Blaming Biden for the outbreak of the war, Trump remarked, "This is not my war. This is Biden's war. I am just trying to stop it and save many lives."
"IF I WERE PRESIDENT, PUTIN WOULD NOT HAVE STARTED THE WAR"
Repeating a claim he has made before, Trump argued that if he were president instead of Biden, the Russia-Ukraine war would never have happened. Stating, "(Russian President Vladimir) Putin would not have started the war," Trump alleged that Putin did not respect Biden and therefore launched the attack.
Trump also expressed that millions of people have lost their lives due to the war and that they should be alive today.
"WE WILL MAKE A DECISION ON IRAN VERY SHORTLY"
In response to a question regarding negotiations with Iran, Trump stated that he is in contact with various actors regarding Iran.
Trump said, "We will make a decision on Iran very shortly."
"WHAT BIDEN DID TO THIS COUNTRY SHOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN"
Trump also directed harsh criticism at former President Biden's border policies. Stating, "What Biden did to this country should never be forgotten," Trump claimed that the Biden administration allowed millions of people from prisons and mental institutions to enter the country. Trump argued that this situation not only created numerous problems but also led to high inflation.
