Trump outlines why US must improve relations with Russia

 

Moscow has more nuclear weapons than Armerica does, the ex-president said during a campaign rally

Getting along with a nation that has the world’s largest nuclear weapons stockpile is a good thing, former US President Donald Trump has said, as he reiterated his claims that he could defuse the Ukraine conflict in a matter of hours.

 

“The fake news hates when I say I know [Russian President Vladimir Putin] well. They hate when I say I got along with him. You know, it’s good to get along,” he told supporters at a campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania on Saturday.

 

“They have more nuclear weapons than us, or just about the same, but a little more than us,” he said, adding that “nobody ever talks about that” when discussing the Ukraine conflict.

The US is in a “very stupid, dangerous position right now,” Trump said.

The former US leader is campaigning for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election, even as his legal troubles pile up. Last week, special counsel Jack Smith announced new charges against him, which are related to alleged mishandling of classified materials after leaving office. Trump claims to be a victim of a “witch hunt” by the Democratic Party and “the deep state.”

 

The embattled TV show host-turned-politician reiterated his claims that if he were serving a second term, the conflict in Ukraine would not have happened, because, as he put it, “Russia respercted us, Putin respected me.” If re-elected, he could stop the hostilities in 24 hours, he also claimed.

 

He told supporters that at one point, he intimidated the Russian leader with “things that you don’t want to know.”

 

“I said: ‘it’s gonna really be bad’… He said: ‘You wouldn’t do it,’ and I said: ‘Yes, I will,’” Trump said. “And he didn’t believe me, but you know, he believed me 10%. But that’s all he needed.”

Report: Mossad chief visited White House to discuss Saudi normalization

David Barnea visit seen as part of Biden administration’s ‘full-bore effort’ to reach Jerusalem-Riyadh deal, which will reportedly require Israeli concessions to Palestinians

Mossad chief David Barnea visited the White House earlier this month for “secret” talks about a potential normalization deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia, according to a report Monday.

 

Axios cited two US sources who said Barnea met in the White House with US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan as well as Brett McGurk, the White House coordinator for the Middle East, and Amos Hochstein, US President Joe Biden’s senior adviser on energy and infrastructure.

 

Sullivan and McGurk both traveled to Saudi Arabia in the period following their purported meetings with Barnea.

Barnea also reportedly met during his trip with CIA director Bill Burns. The CIA had no comment on the report.

 

“We continue to support for normalization with Israel, including with Saudi Arabia, and obviously continue to talk to our regional partners about how more progress can be made,” a White House National Security Council spokesperson said when asked to comment on the reported Barnea-Sullivan meeting.

According to numerous reports on a potential normalization deal in recent weeks, Riyadh is seeking a significant defense and security pact with the United States, Israeli concessions to the Palestinians, and a civilian nuclear program, a demand long opposed by Washington and Jerusalem.
