Quote from Trump: "They said ‘he will start a war’. I’m not going to start a war, I’m going to stop the wars."

Details: He said "we had no wars" during his previous presidential term.

"We had no wars, for four years we had no wars. Except we defeated ISIS. We defeated ISIS in record time, but we had no wars," Trump said.

He mentioned an attempt on his life that took place in Pennsylvania in July and said that "God spared my life for a reason."

Background:

• Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has on several occasions promised his voters to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of being elected to a second term.
• In a Fox News interview, Trump explained how he would achieve this: "I would tell Zelenskyy: No more. You got to make a deal. I would tell Putin: If you don’t make a deal, we’re going to give them a lot. We’re going to give them more than they ever got, if we have to."
• In April 2024, The Washington Post reported, citing sources, that Trump has privately said he could end Russia’s war in Ukraine by pressuring Ukraine to give up some territory, including Crimea and Donbas. Trump’s campaign adviser Jason Miller said this information was fake.
• Trump’s former adviser Fiona Hill said that while he was president of the United States, he made it clear that he believed Ukraine should be part of Russia.
• Trump has also stated that if he wins the election, he will strive to help Ukraine, but will also require the same efforts from Europe.
• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had warned that Donald Trump could become a "loser president" and weaken US influence in the world if he forces Ukraine to a truce with Russia.
