In a recent campaign address, President Joe Biden reaffirmed his stance against Russian President Vladimir Putin's "dictatorial" behavior, emphasizing his determination not to be intimidated.
This message was underscored in a brief video clip posted on his X handle.
Biden also took aim at his Republican rival, Donald Trump, accusing him of lacking the courage to confront Putin. Speaking to voters ahead of the November elections, Biden highlighted the stark differences between himself and Trump on critical foreign and domestic issues.
The President criticized Trump for his controversial comments about NATO, comparing him unfavorably to former Republican President Ronald Reagan. "Bowing down to a Russian leader is outrageous, dangerous, and unacceptable," Biden declared.
Trump's recent remarks about encouraging Russia to act against NATO allies who fail to meet defense spending targets have sparked concerns about his potential impact on the alliance if he wins the upcoming election. Despite expressing admiration for Putin and questioning U.S. aid to Ukraine, Trump has recently voiced support for providing loans to the embattled nation.
Biden also condemned Trump for his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, arguing that such actions pose a serious threat to democracy. "You can't love your country only when you win," he said, targeting both Trump and Republican lawmakers who support his claims of a rigged election.
