Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Donald Trump’s re-election in 2024 would “spell the end of democracy” in the United States and “the end of Ukraine”. She said so in an interview with the British newspaper Financial Times.
Clinton says she “doesn’t believe” Trump will win the next presidential election. But she warned that if that happened he would pull the United States out of NATO.
The former secretary of state, who lost the election to Trump in 2016, called him “a gift to people like Xi and Putin.”
“He was… so fascinated by authoritarian regimes that he was unfit for any strategic approach to China. And you know, he was clearly going to do whatever Putin wanted when it came to NATO,” she said.
Clinton described Putin as “a complex, messianic and narcissistic authoritarian.” The Russian leader believed that if Trump won the 2020 presidential election, he would pull the United States out of NATO, she added.
The former secretary of state acknowledged that at 80, Biden’s age is an “issue” that voters have “every right to consider.” But she thinks any alternative is better than Trump.
Donald Trump and Joe Biden have already announced their intention to run for president in 2024.
