In an interview he did with Nigel Farage on GB News, the 76-year-old businessman criticised current US president  Joe Biden’s handling of the Russia-Ukraine war.

“That deal would be easy. A lot of it has to do with the money. That war has to be stopped. It is a disaster,” Trump said.

TRUMP WAS ADAMANT THAT HE’LL END THE WAR IN 24 HOURS

“If I were president, I [would] end that war in one day. It’ll take 24 hours. I will get that ended. It would be easy.”

On Tuesday, a woman (Jessica Leeds) told a New York civil trial that Trump sexually assaulted her on a flight in the United States in the late 1970s.

Leeds (81) recounted the alleged attack while testifying in the writer E. Jean Carroll’s rape and defamation lawsuit against the ex-president.

She told Manhattan’s federal court that the former US president put his hand up her skirt in the business class section of a flight to New York in 1978 or 1979.

“There was no conversation. It was like out of the blue,” she said.

“He was trying to kiss me, grabbing my breasts,” Leeds told the court.
