Donald Trump has reiterated his stance on foreign policy, immigration, and the role of US allies in a lengthy interview with Time. He criticized Joe Biden’s handling of the situation with Russia, particularly regarding Ukraine, and believes that Biden should have interacted better with Putin. Trump also expressed concern over the arrest of a journalist in Russia and vowed to secure his release once back in office.
In addition to his views on Ukraine and Russia, Trump discussed NATO and the need for European nations to contribute more financially. He argued that the US has been shouldering a disproportionate burden and that Europe needs to step up and pay its fair share. Trump emphasized that his tough stance on NATO has led to increased contributions from other member countries.
Trump reiterated his intention to address immigration issues if re-elected, promising to deport millions of migrants, especially those coming from prisons and psychiatric hospitals. He suggested using the National Guard and even the military if necessary to secure the border and address what he described as an invasion of the country.
Overall, Trump’s interview highlighted his firm belief that other countries, particularly in Europe, need to do more to support common efforts. He remains convinced that the US should not bear financial or security burdens alone and is determined to hold other countries accountable for their responsibilities.
