Harris repudiates Trump worldview and says the US won’t back down on Ukraine’s defense

Associated Press  

MUNICH — Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday warned of the dangers of growing authoritarianism and isolationism in a not-so-veiled repudiation of Donald Trump’s worldview and threats to renege on security guarantees for NATO allies should he return to the White House. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Harris offered a broad defense of the Biden administration’s approach to global challenges, especially in leading international support for Ukraine in its war with Russia. Amid an atmosphere of deep angst at the conference that was punctuated by the news Friday of the death in prison of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, Harris said the United States would not back down on supporting democracy and multilateralism as well defending international rules and norms from attempts to subvert them. “They suggest it is in the best interest of the American people to isolate ourselves from the world, to flout common understandings among nations, to embrace dictators and adopt the repressive tactics and abandon commitments to our allies in favor of unilateral action.” “Let me be clear: that worldview is dangerous, destabilizing and indeed shortsighted,” Harris said without mentioning Trump by name. Harris said the Biden administration’s “sacred commitment to NATO remains ironclad.” “Imagine if America turned our back on Ukraine and abandoned our NATO allies and abandoned our treaty commitments.
