US Presidential Election Debate, Trump Boasts Of Ending Russia-Ukraine War

JAKARTA - Former US President Donald Trump claims to be able to resolve the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Trump did not explain specific ways to end the war, claims he has repeatedly made since the Russian invasion in 2022.

Trump said Russia's invasion of Ukraine could actually be prevented as long as the US has strong leadership.

"If we had a real president, Putin's respected president, he would never invade Ukraine," Trump was quoted as saying by ABC News, Friday, June 28.

"He (Biden) now gives Ukraine 200 billion US dollars or more, he gives 200 billion US dollars. That's a huge amount of money. I don't think it's ever been like that," Trump said.

In the debate over the US Presidential Election, Joe Biden and Donald Trump attacked each other about immigration, abortion and the economy at the beginning which was held by CNN in Atlanta, Georgia, Thursday, June 27 local time.

Starting the debate without shaking hands, Biden (81) and Trump (78) are under pressure to show mastery of issues. Starting calmly, Biden attacked Trump with the sentence facing the former president regarding payment of silence to porn star Stormy Daniels.

In response, Trump brought up recent penalties against Biden's son, Hunter, for lying about drug use to buy weapons.

"My son is not a loser, not a coward. You are a loser, you are a loser," Biden said.

When asked about the attack on January 6, 2021 on the US Capitol Building by a gang of Trump supporters, the former president refused to accept any responsibility and claimed that many of those arrested were innocent.

"This person has no American sense of democracy," said President Biden.

President Biden also blamed Trump for allowing the abolition of national abortion rights by appointing conservatives to the US Supreme Court, an issue that has confused Republicans since 2022.

Trump replied Biden would not support the abortion restrictions and said returning the issue to the state was the right move.

Regarding the border, Trump said Biden had failed to secure the southern border of the United States, which caused many criminals to enter.

"I call it Biden's migrant crime," he said.

"Once again, he overestimated, he lied," Biden said.
