President Donald Trump criticized former President Joe Biden for being misled by “very bad advisors” on foreign policy, particularly regarding Ukraine and Israel, weakening the U.S. globally.

He warned Russia to negotiate or face economic consequences but expressed admiration for the Russian people and readiness to engage with Putin.
Trump accused Biden’s team of mishandling Israel’s regional dynamics, leading to unnecessary escalation, though he provided no specifics.
He reiterated his criticism of Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal, calling it a humiliating disaster and contrasting it with his vision of a dignified exit.

President Donald Trump has once again criticized former President Joe Biden, claiming that he allowed himself to be manipulated by “very bad advisors” when it came to crafting policy regarding the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel.

Trump made this critique of Biden during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, during which he argued that Biden’s poor decision-making, coupled with flawed counsel, left the United States in a weaker position on the global stage and allowed avoidable crises in Ukraine and Israel to worsen.

Trump’s remarks come as the world grapples with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and as the international community remains tense regarding the implementation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The president did not mince words, asserting that Biden’s advisors failed him on nearly every major issue, from foreign policy to military strategy. (Related: Trump begins sweeping purge of Biden appointees, vows to restore MAGA vision.)

“He got very bad advice, like he has in everything,” Trump said. “He got bad advice on Ukraine – that war should have never started. He got bad advice on Israel.”

Trump’s criticism of Biden’s handling of Ukraine is particularly pointed. Throughout his campaign, Trump repeatedly claimed that the conflict in Ukraine would never have unfolded under his leadership. He even promised to end the hostilities within “24 hours” of taking office. While that timeline has since been adjusted to 100 days, Trump has tasked his special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg with brokering a swift resolution.

The president also issued a stern warning to Russia, urging Moscow to “settle now” or face severe economic consequences, including high tariffs and sanctions on Russian exports to the U.S. and other nations. However, Trump balanced his tough talk with a conciliatory tone, expressing his “love” for the Russian people and acknowledging their historical contributions, such as their role in defeating Nazi Germany during World War II.

“We can do it the easy way, or the hard way – and the easy way is always better,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. He added that he is prepared to engage in talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, suggesting that the two leaders will likely reconnect “very soon.”

Trump’s comments on Israel were equally critical. He argued that Biden’s advisors mishandled the delicate dynamics in the region, leading to unnecessary escalation. While Trump did not provide specific details, his broader message was clear: Biden’s foreign policy team lacked the strategic foresight and resolve needed to navigate complex international crises.

The president also repeated his previous criticisms of Biden’s chaotic handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Trump described the pullout as a humiliating disaster, contrasting it with his own vision of a dignified exit.

“He got bad advice on the way he got out of Afghanistan. We should have gotten out with strength and dignity, not like a bunch of losers,” he reiterated.
