President-elect Donald Trump is the only person who can end the war between Ukraine and Russia, according to U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn).
During an interview on Fox Business News' "Kudlow" on Monday, Tuberville said he was disappointed that the Biden administration was escalating the war weeks before a new administration took over.
"Very disappointing in what the Biden administration is doing. I know behind the scenes President Trump does have some of his people talking to people in the Biden administration. Right now, I'll just say this: Russia is losing 1,000 people a day. One thousand people a day are dying in this war that should never have been fought, and all we had to do was promise Vladimir Putin that we would not make Ukraine NATO. That's water underneath the bridge now," Tuberville said.
"President Trump has got to get it over with," he added. "One of the first things he has to do is sit down with President Putin. Get it done. Get a boundary that both Ukraine and Russia can live with and get on with life. We have destroyed the young people of Russia (and) the young people of Ukraine. It's been devastating to our pocketbook. We have spent $211 billion, and NATO has only spent about $52 billion. Look at what the American taxpayer has had to pay for this war as compared to everybody else all over the world…$52 billion, it's wrong but we've got to get out of this and the only one that can do it is Donald Trump."
