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

How Russia Sold Alaska To USA in 1867 | Trump Can Easily Buy Greenland | Here's How [Video]

How Russia Sold Alaska To USA in 1867 | Trump Can Easily Buy Greenland | Here's How

President-elect Donald Trump’s interest in buying Greenland mirrors the U.S. acquisition of Alaska in 1867 for $7.2 million. While the Alaska deal faced criticism, it proved successful after the Klondike Gold Strike. Trump’s proposal would require negotiations with Denmark and compensation for Greenland’s 57,000 residents. The last U.S. territory purchase was in 1917 with the Danish West Indies, and acquiring Greenland would likely involve economic incentives or treaties. #TrumpGreenland #AlaskaHistory #USTerritory #GreenlandDeal #LandAcquisitions #Compensation #ForeignPolicy #EconomicCoercion #Sovereignty #MilitaryInterests Also Read Who Owns Greenland?

Canada has strongly rejected former U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. could "buy" Canada, instead offering a bold and humorous counter-proposal: “How about we buy Alaska?” Ontario Premier Doug Ford, in a lighthearted remark, made it clear that Canada would never fall under U.S. control, dismissing Trump’s comments as jokes. Ford, in a public statement, emphasized the importance of Canada maintaining its sovereignty, stressing that the relationship between the two nations should focus on resolving trade issues through dialogue rather than drastic measures like annexation. #TrumpCanada #TrumpNews #TrumpOnCanada #TrumpCanadaMerge #TrumpGreenland #CanadaPrimeMinister #Trudeau #TrumpTariffs #TrumpAnnexCanada #TrumpPanamaCanal #TrumpCanadaMexico #TrumpWantsGreenland #TrumpCanadaTrudeau #TrumpJr #CanadaTrump Also Read Trump Requests Supreme Court Intervention to Delay Sentencing in New York Hush Money Case :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-supreme-court-block-sentencing-hush-money-case-new-york-011-4037397.html?ref=DMDesc Is Trump Readying Himself For An Epic Failure In His Second Stint As US President? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/is-trump-readying-himself-for-an-epic-failure-in-his-second-stint-as-us-president-4036983.html?ref=DMDesc Trudeau’s Resignation: Was He The ‘Quarterback’ Or Just Playing Along? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trudeau-s-resignation-was-he-the-quarterback-or-just-playing-along-4036845.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.346~HT.336~GR.122~

Trump Triumphs Again: U.S President Elect's ‘Deranged’ Prosecutor Jack Smith Drops Charges

U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed to drop federal charges against President-elect Donald Trump, reversing course on two high-profile cases. Smith, who led the Justice Department’s efforts in election interference and classified documents cases, charged Trump in 2023 with four felony counts, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and obstruct an official proceeding. Smith’s motion emphasizes that Justice Department policy prohibits criminal prosecution of a sitting president, regardless of the severity of the charges.Trump faced allegations of pressuring election officials to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory and inciting the January 6 Capitol riots. Despite the dropped charges, the government maintains confidence in its evidence and legal merits. Smith, who Trump has publicly criticized as “crooked” and a “lunatic,” is expected to resign before Trump’s January 2025 inauguration. Meanwhile, Trump’s sentencing in a separate New York case has been postponed indefinitely, signaling further legal uncertainties ahead. #TrumpChargesDropped #JackSmith #USPolitics #DonaldTrump #ElectionInterference #JusticeDepartment #CapitolRiots #BidenVictory #PresidentialTransition #LegalBattle ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~
