Donald Trump criticizes Biden over the presence of the Russian Navy near Cuba

Former President Donald Trump launched multiple attacks on the Biden administration in the last few hours for admitting a Russian Navy fleet operate near US waters. That’s what he concluded Putin disrespects the current American president. ‘We don’t want to see any Russian ships off the coast Florida (southeast), where they are now. That is unthinkable,” the mogul said during a press conference on Thursday after a meeting with the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Republican party lawmakers in Washington.

Trump reiterated his concerns at an event in the country on Friday West Palm Beach where he celebrated his 78th birthday. “Now we have Russian warships and nuclear submarines nearby Cuba, 60 miles off the coast of Florida. How does that make you feel? Do you feel good about that? And that is only because Biden’s weakness puts us in great danger,” he emphasized.

“Putin doesn’t respect him. No foreign leader respects him,” Trump claimed, referring to Biden.
