Harris seized on Trump’s comments, saying President Vladimir Putin would be “sitting in Kyiv with his eyes on the rest of Europe” if Trump hadn’t lost to President Joe Biden in 2020. “I believe the reason that Donald Trump says that this war would be over within 24 hours is because he would just give it up.”
Former President Donald Trump twice declined to say if he wants Ukraine to win the war against Russia, instead telling Tuesday night’s debate he wanted the fighting to end and would have the two countries’ leaders meet and work out a deal.
“I want the war to stop,” Trump said during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, after being asked two times if he wanted Ukraine to win the war. “That is a war that’s dying to be settled. I will get it settled before I even become president.”
