Former President Donald Trump has targeted President Joe Biden, claiming that the Ukraine conflict could have escalated into World War III had he not been in power. Trump asserts that the Biden administration’s policies have prolonged the war, emphasizing his efforts to de-escalate the situation during his presidency. He has focused on ending the conflict.
Trump pointed out that when he assumed office, relations between the Biden administration and Moscow were strained. He highlighted his efforts to re-establish diplomatic connections. Regarding the Ukraine war, Trump stated that he had worked to improve the situation significantly and suggested that a resolution could be reached soon.
Trump has asserted that the Ukraine conflict is a result of Biden’s actions, criticizing the military assistance provided to Ukraine. He has also raised concerns about the financial impact, estimating a cost of around $350 billion. Earlier this year, Trump hinted that he wanted to recover these losses through a mineral agreement with Kyiv. The challenge for him is that the mineral wealth being discussed is located in territories that have voted to join Russia.
