Former President Trump Discusses Russia-Ukraine Conflict and Global Leaders


Former US President Donald Trump recently sat down for an interview with Elon Musk where he discussed the importance of having strong leaders on the global stage. Trump praised Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, stating that they are all at the 'top of their game' and are 'tough, smart, and vicious' in protecting their countries.

During the interview, Trump also took a swipe at his political rival, President Joe Biden, suggesting that the Russia-Ukraine war could have been avoided if Biden had not mentioned the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO. Trump claimed that he had a good relationship with Putin and had advised him against invading Ukraine.

Trump's comments on the leaders of Russia, China, and North Korea were in response to a question about the importance of having an 'intimidating' President for global security. He emphasized that strength is key in dealing with leaders like Kim Jong Un, who respond to power rather than weakness.

Overall, Trump's interview with Musk shed light on his views on international relations and the need for strong leadership in the face of global challenges. His comments on Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong Un reflect his belief that these leaders are formidable and that the US needs to have a tough president to counter them.
