Biden blasts Trump as 'foolish' appeaser of Russia, says first 100 days were no triumph

Former President Joe Biden was deeply critical of his successor, and predecessor, in his first broadcast interview since leaving the White House, saying President Donald Trump's first 100 days were hardly a triumph.

Speaking with BBC Radio 4's Today program, Biden touted his own record on defending the NATO alliance while ripping Trump's stance on the Russia-Ukraine war, which Trump has said he wants to see end quickly. The war broke out in early 2022, a year into Biden's term.

"It is modern-day appeasement," Biden said of Trump's attitude toward Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Anybody who thinks he's going to stop is foolish."
