'They're interfering with American sovereignty'

October 23, 2020 07:07

Were now onto the next topic, which is US national security.

The debate is likely to turn fierce, as each of them declare that the other has a conflict of interest preventing them from safely protecting the country.

Trump claims that Bidens son, Hunter, had been selling access to the White House while his dad was vice-president. Theres little evidence for the claim, which Trump has begun touting in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, Democrats say that Trumps personal debts, to persons unknown, represent a major conflict of interest.

Russia and Iran are both working to influence the election, moderator Kirsten Welker says, asking what Biden and Trump plan to do about the claim from US intelligence officials that was announced yesterday.

"Any country that interferes in American elections will pay a price," begins Biden, saying it has been his clear position throughout his political career.

"They are interfering with American sovereignty. That's what's going on right now."

Russia, Biden says, would prefer Trump because "They know I know them. And they know me."
