Biden calls Trump's pressure on Ukraine 'modern-day appeasement' in 1st post-presidential interview
Joe Biden said in his first post-presidential interview that President Donald Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s pressure on Ukraine to give up territory to Russia amounts to 바카라 게임 웹사이트,바카라 게임 웹사이트 a historically fraught term that refers to a failed effort to stop the Nazis from annexing land in Europe in the 1930s.
Biden told BBC Radio 4's 바카라 게임 웹사이트Today바카라 게임 웹사이트 program in that Trump's statements about acquiring Panama, Greenland and Canada have bred distrust of the United States in Europe.
바카라 게임 웹사이트What president ever talks like that?바카라 게임 웹사이트 Biden said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트That바카라 게임 웹사이트s not who we are. We바카라 게임 웹사이트re about freedom, democracy, opportunity 바카라 게임 웹사이트 not about confiscation.바카라 게임 웹사이트
He also said it was a 바카라 게임 웹사이트difficult decision바카라 게임 웹사이트 to leave the U.S. presidential race in 2024 four months from Election Day to allow former Vice President Kamala Harris to challenge Trump. But, he added, making that move earlier as some critics had suggested 바카라 게임 웹사이트would(n't) have mattered.바카라 게임 웹사이트
The term appeasement refers to former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain바카라 게임 웹사이트s efforts in the 1930s to appease Adolf Hitler바카라 게임 웹사이트s moves to annex land in Europe, which failed to prevent World War II.
Trump has long dismissed the war in Ukraine as a waste of lives and American taxpayer money. Early in his presidency, Trump ordered a pause in American aid to Ukraine 바카라 게임 웹사이트 then resumed it. The two countries last week signed an agreement granting American access to Ukraine바카라 게임 웹사이트s vast mineral resources 바카라 게임 웹사이트 a return on investment, Trump suggested, that could pave the way for more U.S. aid.
He has also said that Crimea, a strategic peninsula along the Black Sea in southern Ukraine that was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014, 바카라 게임 웹사이트will stay with Russia.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Biden said he worried that relations between the U.S. and Europe was eroding under Trump, with NATO member nations reconsidering whether they trust the U.S.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Europe is going to lose confidence in the certainty of America and the leadership of America," Biden told the BBC. The continent바카라 게임 웹사이트s leaders, he added, were asking: "'Can I rely on the United States? Are they going to be there?'바카라 게임 웹사이트
Of special concern, Biden said, was the administration's proposal to let Russia keep some Ukrainian territory in an effort to strike a peace deal that would put an end to fighting.
바카라 게임 웹사이트It is modern-day appeasement,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Biden said.
Biden said Trump's thrashing of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office in February was 바카라 게임 웹사이트beneath America.바카라 게임 웹사이트
바카라 게임 웹사이트I don바카라 게임 웹사이트t understand how they fail to understand that there바카라 게임 웹사이트s strength in alliances,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Biden said of the Trump administration on Monday.
Asked about Trump's triumphant celebration of his first 100 days in office, Biden replied that he'll let history render the judgement.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I don바카라 게임 웹사이트t see anything that was triumphant,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said.
