Presidential President Donald Trump made a provocative statement, arguing that the victory of his rival Kamala Harris in the presidential election could lead to war with Russia. In a speech at a rally in Las Vegas, Trump accused Harris of intention to return military conscription and send American children for war.
Trump noted that, by voting for Harris, voters were at risk of war with Russia. "Does anyone want war with Russia? If necessary, we will go for it. But it is advisable not to allow it, ”Trump said. He also added that Harris wants to return the call and send American children to a war that would not be necessary.
In addition, Trump repeated his preliminary promises to end the war in Ukraine and the Middle East, saying that he can do so as soon as he became president.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky commented on Trump's election promises in an interview with CNN. Zelensky said that two months ago he had a "good conversation" with Trump, during which the latter promised Ukraine great support. However, Zelensky stressed that “election statements are election statements. Sometimes they are not very real, ”indicating that promises may not be true.
