“Putin and Xi Jinping They respect me because they know I’m crazy“. Donald Trump, as the presidential elections approach, wanted to send a message of encouragement to the Americans regarding their international relations, where he claims to have more strength than Kamala Harris thanks to the pressure that his “madness” exerts on Russia and China.
The Republican candidate, as he has done on other occasions, argued that the United States’ adversaries would not act against their country’s interests because they feared his forceful and unpredictable response. A premise that adds to his previous interventions alleging that Putin attacked Ukraine when he was leaving the presidency, taking advantage of Joe Biden’s “weakness”.
Furthermore, in statements to The Wall Street JournalTrump wanted to give an overview of the measures he plans if he reaches the White House. Concerning the Asian country, he assured that “it would impose customs duties on China if it tries to block Taiwan. “I would say,” he said, “if you go to Taiwan, I’m sorry, but I’m going to tax you 150 to 200 percent.”
‘I had a very strong relationship with him,’ Trump said of the president Xi Jinping. “Actually, he was a very good friend, I don’t want to say friend, I don’t want to make a fool of myself, ‘he was my friend’, but I got along very well with him“, he assures the media. Trump assures that with the links previously established – with his counterpart at the time – “it would not be necessary to resort to military force to avoid a blockade of Taiwan”.
As for the Russian president, Vladimir Putinstates that he took “very good with him” and that he threatened him in case he invaded Ukraine. Something that happened with the arrival of Biden and that the Republican used during his rallies.
“‘I’m going to hit you in the center of Moscow,’ we are friends. I don’t want to do itbut I have no other choice”, reproduces Trump, “to which he responded by assuring ‘no way’. “No way,” I told him. Furthermore, he recounts how he supported Putin to “help him remove the domes that cover him and seek to deal him a hard blow.”
Harris, on the attack
For her part, her rival at the White House, Kamala Harris, admitted this Saturday to having changed strategy and increased attacks against her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, because he is more and more “disturbed” and he needs someone to answer him. In a recent interview, he called him a “fascist.”
“The situation is becoming more and more volatile and unbalanced and this response is necessary. I think the American people are seeing that in real time,” Harris told reporters before attending a campaign event in Detroit, Michigan.
The vice president added that people “should take note” that Trump is “an individual who wants to be president” and stressed that citizens “deserve better” than someone who seems really unstable.
The Republicans are managing to erode Harris’ image with a very strong campaign against her for the current administration’s immigration policies and Trump raised the tone again this week by calling the Democrats “internal enemies” of the United States. United.
