A Trump victory would mean “the end of Ukraine,” according to Clinton
Additionally, the former contender warned that if the ex-president was elected again, he would withdraw the United States from NATO.
Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said on Saturday that if ex-US President Donald Trump is re-elected in 2024, it will be the end of both democracy in the US and Ukraine.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Clinton, who was Barack Obama’s secretary of state during that period and lost to Trump in the 2016 presidential race, expressed her doubt that her old adversary will prevail this time.
She did, however, assert that if Trump wins in 2024, it will mark “the end of democracy in the United States” and “the end of Ukraine,” as he will expel it from NATO.
Clinton continued by claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin thought Trump would act in this manner if he had won the 2020 presidential election. She claimed that Trump was “enamored of authoritarians” and “inept in any kind of strategic approach to China,” and that he was “the gift that kept on giving to people like [Chinese president Xi Jinping] and Putin.”

Trump, she continued, “clearly going to do whatever Putin wanted on NATO.”
Clinton said that she originally thought China was going to “make [a] move against Taiwan” in the coming years, but the situation in the Ukraine has deterred Beijing from making an effort to retake the island, which it sees as a part of its sovereign territory.
She continued by addressing common worries that the current president, Joe Biden, 80, who announced his intention to run for office again in late April, is too old for the position. While admitting that his age is “an issue,” she asked people to contrast him with the candidate he is up against.
Trump, who declared in November that he would run for president again in 2024, has criticized Biden’s handling of the Ukraine crisis. He alleged in January that the president “is systematically, but perhaps unknowingly, pushing us into what could soon be World War III.”
If elected, Trump has pledged to end the Ukraine conflict “very quickly” and has positioned himself as the “only candidate” who can prevent the US from entering a world war.
