Former President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden’s policy toward Ukraine on Monday.
In a new interview on Fox Business, Trump criticized Biden ahead of the president’s trip to Europe to rally the support of allies against Russia’s invasion.
“The cards are played, the cards are set and he has a very bad hand,” Trump said in an interview on Fox Business. “He’s given himself a very weak hand.”
Trump repeated his claim that Russian strongman Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if he were in the White House.
“This would never, ever have happened if I were still in there,” Trump said. “I can tell you that with 100% certainty.”
Host Stuart Varney repeatedly asked Trump whether he supports specific steps like arranging for Ukraine to get more fighter jets.
“Maybe, even more, to be honest,” Trump said before changing the subject.
Like what, Varney asked?
“We have a tremendous military capability. What we could do is enormous,” Trump said. “We should be using it … to help them survive.”
Trump also boasted of sending Javelin anti-tank weapons to Ukraine. He did not mention specifically what he would do that Biden has not done, except try to reduce the price of oil.
“What you need for war is three things: money, money and money,” Trump said. “If you knock the hell out of the price of oil … this war is going to end.”
He suggested Biden should be doing something more to confront Putin.
“When he goes in and kills thousands, are we just going to just sit by and watch?” Trump asked. “In a hundred years, they’ll be talking about what a travesty this is.”
