In a question ostensibly about the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump argued over the role of the United States in NATO and their duty to foreign aid.
Trump said NATO was “going out of business” and claimed credit for getting European countries to contribute more funding. Biden responded he’d “never heard such foolishness” and accused Trump of not intending to intervene should Russian President Vladimir Putin try to invade countries beyond Ukraine.
The June 27 CNN Presidential Debate was the first time Biden and former Trump faced off this election season. It was also the first debate between a sitting and former president.
