Details: Trump was responding to criticism that he is siding with Moscow in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Quote: “Nobody has been tougher on Russia than Donald Trump. Nobody. And they know that… The pipeline, I stopped it. Nord Stream 2. Nobody ever heard of it until I came along. They were building it happily… And I stopped it. Biden got in, on the second day he approved it!”
Details: Trump also reminded the interviewer that he imposed tough sanctions on Russia and emphasised once again that he was the first to sell Javelins to Ukraine for use against Russia.
Quote: “At the same time, I got along with Putin, I got along with Kim Jong Un, I got along with President Xi.”
