Donald Trump, the former US president and leading candidate for the Republican Party, has emphasized his positive working relationships with Russian President Vladimir Putin and leaders of other countries considered adversaries by the US.

He has also asserted that if he were in office instead of Joe Biden, the conflict in Ukraine would not have occurred.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that he could resolve the tensions between Kiev and Moscow within 24 hours if he were to become president again. In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, he criticized President Biden’s leadership, stating that it has created a chaotic situation worldwide.

Trump further criticized Biden’s ability to communicate effectively and negotiate, which he believes undermines the global standing of the US. He highlighted his own amicable relationship with Putin, as well as with Chinese President Xi Jinping and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Trump also praised Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, describing him as a tough, smart, and respected individual. During a speech in Iowa, Trump expressed confidence in his ability to quickly resolve international issues by leveraging his relationships with Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky.
