Trump Echoes Putin's Propaganda, Shifts Blame For Ukraine Invasion Onto NATO and Biden

Donald Trump has sharply criticized President Joe Biden for mishandling tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and NATO, accusing the U.S. leader of sparking the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump argued that Biden's push for Ukraine to join NATO, despite Russia's long standing opposition, was a key trigger for the conflict. He claimed that Washington violated a prior understanding with Russia regarding NATO's expansion limits, setting the stage for what he described as a "disaster" that could have been avoided. Trump further warned that the conflict could escalate and worsen, and expressed regret that preventing the war in 2022 would have been easier than resolving it now. He also reiterated his belief that he could broker a resolution, albeit acknowledging the complexity of the situation. #TrumpBidenUkraineWar #NATOExpansionDisaster #BidenMistakes #UkraineCrisis #TrumpOnBiden #TrumpCriticizesBiden #USRussiaTensions #NATOSparkedWar #TrumpUkraineComments #BidenFailedNegotiations #RussiaUkraineConflict #TrumpOnWar #UkraineNATOControversy #NATOExpansionCriticism #TrumpUkraineResolution Also Read Trudeau Rejects Trump’s Annexation Threat; Poilievre Vows To Strengthen Canada :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trudeau-rejects-trump-s-annexation-threat-poilievre-vows-to-strengthen-canada-4036629.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Threatens 'All Hell' If Hamas Hostages Aren't Released By Inauguration :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-threatens-all-hell-if-hamas-hostages-arent-released-by-inauguration-4036605.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Threatens To Use Economic Pressure To Make Canada The 51st State :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-threatens-to-use-economic-pressure-to-make-canada-the-51st-state-4036559.html?ref=DMDesc
