Republican presidential candidate former Vice President Mike Pence said Monday on FNC’s “Americas Newsroom” that the only way former President Donald Trump could solve the Ukraine war in a day was if he gave Vladimir Putin what he wanted. When asked how the war ends, Pence said, “I think it ends by giving the Ukrainians what they need to win.” He continued, “My former running mate likes to talk about solving it in a day. The only way you would solve this war in a day is if you gave Vladimir Putin what he wanted.”

A super-PAC aligned with former Vice President Mike Pence has launched a new ad in Iowa accusing former President Donald Trump of being “an apologist for villains and dictators.” The advertisement, launched Thursday from Committed to America, a group Pence supports, includes clips of Trump shaking hands with Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. “America doesn’t stand with thugs and dictators. We confront them,” a narrator says in the ad as Trump’s footage plays. “Or at least we did.”
