In a televised debate on CNN, former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden engaged in a heated exchange over their foreign policy approaches, particularly regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Hamas war. Trump blamed Biden’s “embarrassing” withdrawal from Afghanistan for prompting Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, while Biden defended his support for Ukraine and labeled Putin a “war criminal.” Trump also claimed he would end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine before taking office, while Biden warned of further conflicts in Europe if Russia captures Ukraine. The debate also touched on the Israel-Hamas war, with Trump suggesting Israel should be allowed to finish the job in Gaza, and Biden pushing for a ceasefire.
