Trump to End Russia-Ukraine War If Elected, Harris Dismisses Claim

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump asserted he would end the Russia-Ukraine war if elected, a claim dismissed by Democratic rival Kamala Harris. During their first presidential debate in Pennsylvania, Trump criticized the Biden-Harris administration's handling of the conflict, while Harris defended U.S. efforts to support Ukraine.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has pledged to end the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war if he wins the upcoming November elections, a statement his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris quickly dismissed as unrealistic. Harris suggested that Trump's approach would be to surrender, a strategy she argued does not align with American principles.

During the first presidential debate held in Pennsylvania, Trump reiterated that the conflict in Ukraine would not have occurred under his administration. He attributed the continuation of the war to the Biden-Harris rule, pointing out that millions have perished in the violence.

Harris countered Trump's claims by emphasizing U.S. military support and intelligence aid to Ukraine. She highlighted the role of NATO and European allies in Ukrainian resistance, arguing that Trump's presidency would empower Putin and threaten European stability.
