Biden and Trump face off in first election debate of the season
Briefly

When asked whether he agreed to Putin's terms for ending Russia's war in Ukraine, Trump claimed Putin decided to invade after seeing how the Biden administration handled their exit from the war in Afghanistan. Although confirming he would not accept Putin's terms for ending the war, he claimed he would have the war "settled", and reiterated previous claims that the US was providing Ukraine with too much financial aid.
Biden responded by calling Vladimir Putin a "war criminal" and that he wouldn't stop with Ukraine. He also noted that Nato produces "as much for Ukraine" as the US has and that America's strength "lies in its alliances."
Trump repeated his mantra that European allies do not spend as much on Nato as the US, claiming that he successfully pressured Nato allies to ramp up spending.
Over the war between Israel and Hamas Trump did not directly answer if he would support an independent Palestinian state. He asserted that Israel should "finish the job" and accused Biden of acting like a Palestinian.
