Kamala Harris accuses Donald Trump of disrespectful behavior. He is open to another conversation with Elon Musk. All information in the news blog.
18:55: The Kremlin does not expect a quick mediation success in the war against Ukraine if Donald Trump becomes president again in the USA. “I do not believe there is a magic wand. It cannot be done in a day,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Russian television. He was commenting on claims by the former president and current Republican candidate Trump that he could end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict within a day.
Nevertheless, Peskov is toying with the idea. One could imagine “that the next president of the USA will announce in his inauguration speech that the USA is committed to peace and will therefore stop supporting Ukraine,” says the spokesman. “Then perhaps by the next morning something will change in thinking, especially in Kiev.” Peskov adds in the interview for the program “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin” that this is all purely hypothetical.
20:12: US Vice President Kamala Harris has accused her rival for the presidency, former President Donald Trump, of lacking respect for the Arlington National Cemetery and the military in general. “To be clear: The former president disrespected sacred ground just for the sake of a political maneuver,” Harris said on the online service X. She is referring to an incident on Monday in which members of Trump’s campaign team clashed with employees of the cemetery.
“If there is one thing we can agree on as Americans, it is that our veterans, military families and members of the armed forces should be honored, never denigrated and treated with nothing but our utmost respect and gratitude,” Harris writes.
4.49 am: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is planning another live conversation with tech billionaire Elon Musk. “I think we’ll do another one,” Trump said at an event in the US capital Washington, raving about the number of listeners during the first conversation in mid-August. Trump had nothing but praise for Musk – he was great and a super genius, said the 78-year-old. “I’m a big fan of Elon.”
After initial technical difficulties, the first conversation between the two was broadcast live on Musk’s online platform X. Musk had announced the conversation as an “interview,” but it turned into a campaign show for the ex-president. In recent years, Musk’s views have drifted further and further to the right. On X, he is stirring up sentiment against the Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, against whom Trump is running in the presidential election on November 5.
Trump spoke in Washington at an event organized by the ultra-conservative organization “Moms for Liberty,” which, among other things, campaigns to ban allegedly offensive books from school libraries that deal with topics such as sexuality or racism.
