Biden campaign blasts Trump's comments on Putin and NATO in a new ad
Joe Biden’s campaign is releasing a new 2024 campaign ad blasting Donald Trump over his recent comments on Russian President Vladimir Putin and NATO.
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign is releasing a new ad Friday blasting former President Donald Trump for his embrace of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his “traitorous comments” attacking the NATO alliance.
The 60-second spot, titled “Walk Away,” highlights the 2024 Republican presidential front-runner's comments last weekend that he would “encourage” Putin and Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to NATO countries that didn't spend enough on defense.
“No president has ever said anything like it,” the narrator says in the ad, shared first with NBC News. “It’s shameful. It’s weak. It’s dangerous. It’s un-American,” echoing what Biden said earlier this week from the White House about Trump’s remarks.
The ad comes as Russian state media announced Friday that opposition leader and Putin critic Alexei Navalny had died in prison, though the Biden campaign’s plans were in the works before then.
The ad's narrator says that every president since Harry Truman has honored the U.S.' commitment to NATO allies, “except for Donald Trump,” and goes on to say Trump wants to “walk away” from NATO, “the cornerstone of America’s security.”
