Donald Trump told a private meeting of donors that he once warned Vladimir Putin that he would ‘bomb the **** out of Moscow’ if he attacked Ukraine, an audio tape appears to reveal.A recording of a gathering during a 2024 fundraiser seemingly shows the now-President stating that Russia would have never invaded Ukraine in 2022 had he been in office.
Apparently in reference to his first term, Trump said: ‘With Putin I said, “If you go into Ukraine, I’m going to bomb the **** out of Moscow. I’m telling you I have no choice.”‘
He then claimed Putin responded: ‘”I don’t believe you, no way”… and I said “way”.’
Later in the conversation, Trump can also be heard claiming that he issued a similar threat to China’s President Xi Jinping if he chose to invade Taiwan.
‘I said the same thing to them, I said “if you go into Taiwan I’m going to bomb the **** out of Beijing”.
‘He thought I was crazy. He said “Beijing! You can’t even bomb [inaudible].” I said, I have no choice. He believed me 10 per cent… and we never had a problem.’
The remarks have been uncovered in a series of audio tapes made while Trump was on the campaign trail at fundraisers in New York and Florida.
They were obtained by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf, who shared audio of the conversation with CNN. Details of some of the exchanges have been published in their new book called 2024.
