Biden Slams Trump Over Ukraine

Joe Biden told the BBC that pressure from the Trump administration on Ukraine to give up territory to Russia is “modern-day appeasement.”

He said that Russian President Vladimir Putin believed Ukraine was part of Russia and “anybody that thinks he’s going to stop” if some territory is conceded as part of a peace deal “is just foolish.”

Biden also hit out against Trump’s aggressive rhetoric toward Panama, Greenland and Canada: “What the hell’s going on here? What president ever talks like that? That’s not who we are. We’re about freedom, democracy, opportunity — not about confiscation.”
