Former President Trump joined President Biden in calling Russia’s war in Ukraine a “genocide” during an interview with Fox News on Wednesday night, The Hill reports.
While Trump was slamming Biden for policies he said have led to record high inflation, he said, “And now add to that what’s going on in Ukraine. That’s a genocide.”
The comment comes a day after Biden accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of genocide on Tuesday. “Your family budget, your ability to fill up your tank, none of it should hinge on whether a dictator declares war and commits genocide half a world away,” Biden said.
Trump, who boasts of a close personal relationship with Putin, had previously called Russia’s invasion a “holocaust.” Trump elaborated on his comments later in the interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, saying, “This is a genocide that’s taking place.”
“We have the strongest, most capable nuclear anywhere in the world because of what I did,” Trump said, reiterating his claim that Putin would not have invaded were he in office.

Trump did NOT call Russia’s war on Ukraine a genocide. He’s referring to the genocide “going on in Ukraine BY THE DEEP STATE CABAL. That’s a genocide.”
