Trump moans that Zelenskyy wants Harris to win US election

“Every time he comes into the country, he walks away with $60 billion … He wants them [the Democrats] to win this election so badly, but I would do it differently, I will work out peace,” Trump said.

The Republican candidate added that if he wins the election, “the first thing I’m gonna do is call up Zelenskyy and call up President Putin and I’m gonna say, ‘You gotta make a deal, this is crazy.’”

Trump has repeatedly vowed to negotiate an end to the conflict, though he has declined to give further details and wouldn’t say whether he wanted Ukraine to defeat Russia when pressed at the presidential debate with Harris earlier this month. He has also threatened to cut U.S. aid to Ukraine.

During the debate, Harris tore into Trump over his stance on the war, saying Russian President Vladimir Putin “would be sitting in Kyiv right now” with Poland in his sights if Trump were in the Oval Office. Long wary of Moscow, Warsaw has been one of Kyiv’s staunchest allies since Putin launched his full-scale invasion.

Zelenskyy’s trip to Pennsylvania is a boon for Harris, who has sought to use U.S. support for Ukraine to appeal to the state’s 750,000-strong Polish-American community. Biden beat Trump in Pennsylvania in 2020 by about 80,000 votes.

Harris recently hired Filip Jotevski as a “national diaspora and ethnic engagement director.” And a giant fundraising group supporting Harris produced an ad posted on Facebook specifically targeting Polish voters.
