The US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has congratulated Russian President Vladimir Putin on a prisoner exchange deal with the West, calling it a great deal but accusing the deal of being bad for the United States.
"I want to congratulate Vladimir Putin on another great deal," Trump said in a speech to supporters in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday.
However, Trump believes that the deal is very bad for the United States. "Brought our people back, but we're making terrible deals."
Trump said the release of Wall Street Journal reporter Gershkovich from detention in Russia was "great," but "these deals are so bad, these deals are going to lead to a lot of kidnappings."
On Trump's remarks, Biden did not hesitate to refute: "Why didn't he (Trump) do it when he was president?" If he really has that much power, why didn't he act on it while he was in office?"
Trump has repeatedly boasted that only he can secure Gershkovich's release, and only after he returns to office.
Trump on Thursday in the Social media platform Truth Social post questioned the prisoner exchange agreement reached by Biden, he questioned whether the United States in order to promote the release of the prisoner paid cash, the US National security adviser Sullivan gave a firm denial. Trump also questioned whether the United States handed over alleged "murderers, killers or thugs" in the exchange. In fact, one of the Russians released by the West under the terms of the deal did include a convicted killer serving a prison sentence in Germany.
The White House said earlier that after more than a year of negotiations between the United States and seven countries - Russia, Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Norway and Belarus - the prisoner swap was scheduled to take place Thursday at the airport in Ankara, Turkey, for 26 prisoners, three of whom would be transferred to the United States, 13 to Germany and eight Russian prisoners held in Western countries. He returned to Russia with two other children.
