“The only person he cares about is himself,” a Biden campaign spokesperson said.

President Joe Biden’s campaign attacked former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for saying that he wouldn’t protect Europe if it were attacked.

“The idea that he would abandon our allies if he doesn’t get his way underscores what we already know to be true about Donald Trump: The only person he cares about is himself,” Biden campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa told POLITICO on Wednesday.

The broadside comes a day after a senior European politician recounted how Trump privately warned years ago that America would not come to the EU’s aid.

“‘You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you,’” Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020, according to French European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was present for their chat at the World Economic in Forum in Davos.

        If Russia was uncooperative it would be hard for China, but if they cooperated with infrastructure I don’t know.
