Biden accused Trump of refusing to criticize Russia

30 September 2020

US presidential candidate Democrat Joseph Biden accused US leader Donald Trump of trying to avoid criticism of Russia and repeated already refuted speculations about Russia's readiness to pay monetary compensation to militants in Afghanistan for attacks on Western coalition soldiers.


"During this president's rule, we have become weaker, poorer, more divided and more violent," Biden said Tuesday at the first TV debate with the current White House chief at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.


"As for the fact that we're getting weaker. The fact is, I faced [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and made it clear to him that we wouldn't tolerate anything from him," says the Democrat candidate who previously served as vice president of the United States.


"He is Putin's puppy. He still refuses to even say anything to Putin about the awards for American soldiers' heads," Biden said, referring to Trump.
