War in Ukraine Moscow targeted by new attack by Ukrainian

19/20 info welcomes André Kaspi, author and specialist in the United States. In particular, he goes back to the various legal cases involving Hunter Biden and Donald Trump.

On the damaging role that Hunter Biden could play in the election campaign of the current American president, André Kaspi reiterates that “he is the Achilles heel, but not because he is being prosecuted in Delaware”. “Basically, the possession of weapons while subjected to pressure related to his status as a drug user shows that it is not very serious. The gun he bought was thrown away within eight days. On the other hand, where it can be a handicap for his father, it is the be-all and end-all in Ukraine. He was a crucial element in the economic relations between the USA and Ukraine for a long time,” specifies André Kaspi.

Rising popularity of Trump

When asked about Donald Trump’s affairs, especially the fact that he is on trial, André Kaspi clarifies that “it is not a political matter, but an economic one.” “Donald Trump has overestimated his wealth in order to achieve success in the various areas, in which he works to receive special support. The trial is not directly related to the trials that will take place in 2024. “In New York we are in the process of attacking Donald.” But it goes without saying that his popularity among Republicans increases with every appearance in court,” concludes the US historian.
