HIGHLIGHTS: Trump-Biden final presidential debate

“I have vert good relationship with him. We have a very good relationship.”

“[Obama administration] tried to meet with him but he would not do it. He didn’t like it.”

Biden said Kim Jong Un did not want to meet with Obama because of the former president’s denuclearization condition.

News broke Wednesday, November 21, that Russia and Iran have both obtained US voter information and taken actions to influence public opinion ahead of the November 3 election. During the debate, Biden said “any country that interferes with American elections will pay a price.”

“They’re interfering with American sovereignty. To the best of my knowledge, I don’t think the President has said anything to Putin about it,” Biden said.

Trump said he earlier opened a bank account in China because he wanted to enter into deals with companies there.

“I prepaid millions of millions of dollars. I don’t make money from China, you do. I don’t make money from Ukraine…. I get treated very badly by IRS [Internal Revenue Service].”

A New York Times investigation earlier revealed that US President Donald Trump or his companies paid thousands more in taxes to the Philippines ($156,824) than he did to his own country ($750) during the first two years of his presidency.

Biden said he’s going to “shut down the virus, not the country,” reiterating that there should be standards for the economy to reopen safely. Yet according to him, while money has already been passed to help businesses, “nothing has happened.”

“Look at states having spikes – they’re the red states…but they’re all Americans. What we have to do is wear these masks, make sure we get help that businesses need.”

Democratic White House hopeful Joe Biden said during his final debate with President Donald Trump that presiding over the nation as 220,000 Americans died from the coronavirus should disqualify Trump from reelection.

“Anyone who’s responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America,” Biden said in the opening remarks of the showdown that comes just 12 days before the election.

“The president still has no comprehensive plan,” Biden added.

“I wanna open the schools. The transmittal rate to teachers is very small. We have to open our country. You can’t do this, we can’t keep this country closed. This is a massive country, with a massive economy.”
