"Putin's Preference: Biden Over Trump a 'Great Compliment' - Trump Reacts"

Former President Donald Trump responded to Russian President Vladimir Putin's statement that he prefers President Joe Biden over Trump as a "great compliment," claiming that Putin's preference for Biden is due to the latter being more predictable and experienced. Trump also reiterated his stance on NATO allies not paying their "fair share," stating that he would not protect them, but stopped short of saying he would "encourage" Russia to attack them. The Biden-Harris campaign criticized Trump's comments, accusing him of giving Putin permission to "mow down" American allies in Europe if he is elected president.
