Joe Biden and Donald Trump clash over war in Ukraine | BBC News

Joe Biden and Donald Trump have clashed over the war in Ukraine, during the first televised debate of the 2024 US presidential election campaign.

Trump claimed that Russia and Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine because he saw how incompetent Biden's team was in their exit from the war in Afghanistan.

Biden defended his foreign policy record, and claimed that Trump told Putin to do "whatever you want".

Thinking these are two best persons America can find for president is crazy😂😂😂

[myself]

The US election system is so weird. Its like you walk into a candy store with lots of variety and all you can do is choose between red gummy bear and green gummy bear.

[jameshumphries]

Biden literally can’t even remember why he’s up there.

[PPpaladin]

one of these 2 are gonna "lead" the west, wow

Our Grandpas need to retire and reconcile so they can play golf together into the sunset.

Even with the dire state of UK politics at the moment, at least our candidates can speak in sentences. The collapse of the US is being televised.

Joe Biden needs to retire, like seriously I actually feel bad for him.

[therewolf]

I notice the BBC failed to mention that Trump expressly said Putin’s “peace offer” terms were not acceptable. What a surprise.

[sorenhedegaard]

Sad that a country like US have no better candidates to offer the US voters. I understand why the American youth is disillusioned about politics. The best thing both candidates could do would be to step down…

[liyanam]

They should stop this war, not just clash.

[dawidrejczak]

why do we have to choose between these two... We want someone normal and young!

[StephenGoodfellow]

Thank you BBC, for tiptoeing around Biden's obvious mental age problems.

[tina]

Joe is getting confused, and Donald is confused about every topic....wow nice to choose between those two. I will choose the one who will not start worldwar III, IV and V

[AgentSmith]

Most Americans doesn't care about Ukraine or NATO, they want to focus on themselves.

[warukraine]

😂😂😂The USA is the object of ridicule around the world😂😂😂

[PerceivedREALITY]

Instead of arming Ukraine and Israel, US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education, homelessness etc.

[VsevolodSidorenko]

[Blackbeard]

[Republicnews-hv]
