In a stunning revelation, a leaked audio clip from a private fundraiser has exposed the aggressive foreign policy approach of Donald Trump.
The audio, first reported by CNN, allegedly captures Trump recounting a conversation with Vladimir Putin where he made a direct threat to bomb Moscow if Russia were to invade Ukraine.
Trump claims that while Putin may not have fully believed him, the threat was credible enough ("he believed me 10%").
This gives a rare insight into the high-stakes conversations that happened behind closed doors during his presidency.
The source of this explosive leak is reportedly a new book titled “2024,” written by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf.
The authors claim to have obtained the audio from the fundraiser, where Trump was speaking candidly to wealthy donors.
This 'unleashed' side of Trump was not limited to Russia.
The same leaked audio reveals Trump made a similar threat to Chinese President Xi Jinping, warning he would bomb Beijing if China launched an invasion of Taiwan.
"He thought I was crazy," Trump is heard saying on the tape.
These revelations come as Trump campaigns for the 2024 presidential election.
He uses these anecdotes to argue that his aggressive and unpredictable negotiating style is what successfully prevented major global conflicts, specifically citing the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, which he claims would not have happened under his watch.
The audio provides a stark look at the kind of "strongman" diplomacy Trump advocates for, a strategy he believes is necessary to prevent world powers from undermining the United States.
