Trump-Harris Presidential Debate: Donald Trump Pledges To End Russia Ukraine War

Former President Trump talked about the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. It was at the much anticipated Presidential debate. Trump responded by saying “I want the war to stop,” .He declined to take sides between Russia and Ukraine. He said, "I want the war to stop. I want to save lives that are being uselessly -- people being killed by the millions. It's the millions. It's so much worse than the numbers that you're getting, which are fake numbers. Look, we're in for 250 billion or more because they don't ask Europe, which is a much bigger beneficiary to getting this thing done than we are. They're in for $150 billion less because Biden and you don't have the courage to ask Europe like I did with nato. They paid billions and billions, hundreds of billions of dollars when I said either you pay up or we're not going to protect you anymore. So that may be one of the reasons they don't like me as much as they like weak people. But you take a look at what's happening. We're in for 250 to 275 billion. They're into 100 to 150. They should be forced to equalize. With that being said, I want to get the war settled. I know Zelenskyy very well and I know Putin very well. I have a good relationship. And they respect your president. Okay? They respect me. They don't respect Biden. How would you respect him? Why? For what reason? He hasn't even made a phone call in two years to Putin. Hasn't spoken to anybody. " U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump faced each other in a high-stakes debate. It is their first direct confrontation as they vie for the US presidency. With the 2024 race locked in a tight contest, this debate is expected to be a critical moment for both candidates as they make their final push toward Election Day.
