Biden Slams Trump’s Ukraine Pressure as ‘Modern-Day Appeasement’. Speaking to BBC Radio 4, in his first interview since leaving office, former President Joe Biden has accused Donald Trump of pressuring Ukraine to cede territory to Russia, calling it "modern-day appeasement”. Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin believes Ukraine was part of Russia—and warned that giving up land won’t stop future aggression. As Allied nations mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, Biden voiced concern about Trump's impact on U.S.-Europe relations, saying a breakdown would “change the modern history of the world”. The interview also touched on Biden’s decision to exit the 2024 race just months before the election. He said he left at the right time and backed the new Democratic candidate, despite the chaotic timing. He also criticized Trump’s recent rhetoric, including talk of reclaiming the Panama Canal, buying Greenland, and making Canada the 51st state. ”What the hell's going on here? What president ever talks like that? That's not who we are. We’re about freedom, democracy, opportunity, not about confiscation.”
