NATO's resurgence amid Ukraine crisis: Biden targets Trump
The President of the USA, Joe Biden, stated that NATO currently plays its most significant role since its inception. He also used the conclusion of the NATO summit to criticise Donald Trump.
"When Putin launched his brutal war over two years ago, I promised President Zelenskyy the United States and our allies and our partners would stand with him for the people of Ukraine as they defended their country," said Biden.
The President of the USA emphasised that despite this, NATO is stronger than ever. This is also related to Finland and Sweden joining the Alliance.
Biden criticises Trump
Joe Biden used the conference to criticise Donald Trump. He reminded people of his rival's words about NATO and the war in Ukraine. "My predecessor has made it clear he has no commitment to NATO. He's made it clear that he would feel no obligation to honor Article 5. He's already told Putin ‘do whatever the hell you want.’ In fact, the day after Putin invaded Ukraine, he said ‘it was genius. It was wonderful.’ Some of you forgot that, but that's exactly what he said," said the President of the USA.
Biden reiterated that he believes he is the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump.
"I just got to, just, pace myself a little more," admitted Biden when asked if he feels up to seeking a second term as President of the USA.
Another Biden gaffe
During his speech, Joe Biden did not avoid a gaffe. This time, while referring to Kamala Harris, he mentioned Donald Trump.
"I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president did I think she wasn't qualified to be president," he said when asked by journalists if he believed Harris would make a good President.
Joe Biden also spoke about the concerns of European leaders. "Foreign policy has never been his strong point and he seems to have an affinity to people who are authoritarian. That worries Europe, that worries Poland, and nobody, including the people of Poland, think if (Putin) wins in Ukraine, he’s going to stop in Ukraine," added Biden, responding to questions from journalists.
