Trump, Harris Clash in First Presidential Debate

The first 2024 US presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris covered significant issues such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, climate change, and the Israel-Hamas war. Trump criticized Harris's support for Ukraine and claimed he could end the war quickly by pushing for negotiations, while Harris supported continued assistance to Ukraine. On climate change, Harris emphasized her pro-environmental stance, contrasting with Trump's previous withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and rollback of environmental policies. The debate also featured sharp exchanges on the Israel-Hamas war, with Trump alleging Harris's presidency would endanger Israel's existence and Harris advocating for a ceasefire and a two-state solution. Both candidates' starkly different approaches highlighted their contrasting visions for America's foreign policy and domestic issues.
