Donald Trump Makes u-turn, Urges Ukraine To Continue Fighting Russia
Donald Trump says Ukraine “is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form”, in a major shift from his previous stance
The US president’s comments, posted on social media, come after he spent an hour meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the UN General Assembly
Earlier, he said “yes I do” when asked whether he supports Nato members shooting down Russian aircraft if they enter Nato airspace
In his address to the gathered world leaders at UNGA, Trump said it’s time to end the “failed experiment of open borders” as he accused the UN of facilitating an “invasion” of Western countries
Trump singled out Europe, saying the continent is in “serious trouble” over migration – while also criticising its failure to “cut off” Russian energy products as “embarrassing”
He described climate change as the “greatest con job ever” and claimed again to have ended “seven wars since his White House return – our Verify team has looked at that here
Trump also said that recognising a Palestinian state would be a “reward for the terrible atrocities” Hamas has committed
