In front of his supporters in Detroit, Trump said that he would stop paying billions to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky if he wins the upcoming elections in November.
Trump described Zelensky as “perhaps the greatest political salesman ever.”
He added: “Every time (Zelensky) comes to our country, he returns with $60 billion,” according to the American New York Times.
Trump’s statements came during the former Republican president’s attendance at a gathering of the controversial conservative group Turning Point Action.
Trump took advantage of his first appearance, at Church 180 in Detroit, the largest city in the state of Michigan and considered an electoral battleground, to indicate that he might appoint a black legislator, Byron Donalds (45 years old), as his deputy, a strategy aimed at extracting black support for Biden.
Trump acknowledged that this Florida representative is among the names on his short list to assume the position of Vice President, saying to the cheering crowd that included hundreds of people, “Do you want to be Vice President? I think he would like that. I tell you one thing, it will be A good vice president too.”
Trump’s roundtable with black civic, religious and business leaders in Detroit came as his campaign announced the “Black Americans for Trump” coalition and noted that the black community’s “prominent” gains under the Republican administration have declined during Biden’s presidency.
