JAKARTA - United States (US) PresidentDonald Trump once warned Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping he would bomb Moscow and Beijing if they took action against Ukraine and Taiwan.

Trump threatened donors at a fundraising event for his campaign in 2024, according to an audio recording released by CNN and reported by the Russian News Agency RIA Novisti, Wednesday, July 9.

"To Putin I said: 'If you go into Ukraine, I will bomb Moscow all out. I told you, I have no other choice.' Then he said, 'I don't believe it.' He said: 'No way.' And I said, 'Maybe,' Trump said in the tape.

Then he said again: 'I don't believe it.' But in reality he believed in me 10 percent. I already said he believed in me 10 percent,' he continued as quoted by ANTARA from Sputnik-OANA.

When I was with President Xi from China. I said the same thing to them, I said, 'If you go into Taiwan, I will bomb Beijing all out.' He thinks I'm crazy, Trump said on the tape.

After Putin's phone call on Thursday (3/7), Trump said he was unhappy with developments in Ukraine, adding that there had been no progress in the matter.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow paid close attention to Trump's remarks.
