Speaking in Savannah, Georgia, Trump mocked President Joe Biden’s frequent refrain that the U.S. would back the Ukrainian armed forces until Kyiv wins the war.
Trump insisted that the U.S. had “to get out,” though he did not specify how he would negotiate an ending to U.S. involvement in the war.
“Biden says, ‘We will not leave until we win,’” Trump said, lowering his voice to mimic the Democratic president.
Trump on Tuesday repeated his characterization of Zelenskyy as “the greatest salesman on Earth” for winning U.S. aid to help Ukraine.
Trump and Zelenskyy have a long history dating back to the former U.S. president’s time in the White House.
The then-president pressured Zelenskyy to open investigations of Biden and his son Hunter as well as a cybersecurity firm Trump falsely linked to Ukraine.
That call — and the hold placed by the White House on $400 million in military aid — led to Trump’s first impeachment. »
