In his first post-presidential interview, former President Joe Biden sharply criticized Donald Trump's approach to Ukraine, calling it 'modern-day appeasement.' Biden likened Trump's actions to historic attempts by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to placate Nazi Germany, a strategy that notoriously failed to prevent World War II.
Biden expressed alarm over Trump's intentions to acquire territories such as Panama, Greenland, and Canada, which he said have caused distrust towards the United States in Europe. He warned that this has led to NATO countries questioning America's reliability and leadership.
Adding to his critique, Biden noted Trump's handling of relations with Ukraine as undermining American principles, suggesting that Trump's approach might embolden Russia further and weaken alliances. He emphasized the importance of strength in alliances as crucial to global stability.
