Trump Campaign Press Release - FACT: Trump Has Been Tougher On Russia Than Biden
October 22, 2020
While Joe Biden failed to stand up to Russia during his 47 years in office, President Trump has taken tougher action against Russia than any past Administration.
President Trump and his administration have been tougher on Russia than any past administration.

President Obama’s Secretary of Defense Robert Gates says it’s “true” that President Trump’s administration has been the toughest on Russia.

President Trump has repeatedly pushed back against Russian attempts to threaten American institutions, including imposing sanctions on hundreds of individuals and entities suspected of attempted election interference.

To hold Russia accountable for their repeated violations, President Trump withdrew the United States from both the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty and Open Skies Treaty.

The Trump Administration imposed harsh penalties in response to Russia’s evasion of sanctions against North Korea, Syria, Iran, and Venezuela.

President Trump placed strong sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, warning Germany and other nations about the dangers of relying on Russian energy.

“I hope that when/if Trump wins the presidential election, that he cancels all sanctions against Russia.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Apparently you don’t know Trump one bit...
Trump is the one who STARTED the sanctions against Russia.
Trump is the one who INITIATED large shipments of high-tech US weaponry to Ukraine so they could better defend themselves against the Russian Invaders.
Why did Trump do that? Because he wants nations borders to be respected, not violated. What Trump wants for America, he wants the same For Americas allies.
He likes BORDERS. Respected BORDERS. I thought you knew that.

The pro-Russian-invader polices you seem to support are actually Obama politics. Obama only sent pillows and blankets to Ukraine, a true scandal. Is that really what you want? Appeasing warmongering Russia inciting it to invade other countries on and on...?? Not good. Your idea would spark WWIII.

Here are the 40 points the Trump Administration did in support for Ukraine and to resist Russia’s aggressions against Ukraine and America’s interests, it’s all official and all verified. Not lies, you can verify it all online yourself, if you like.
