“I don't think that China wants to have a hot war with us, and Russia doesn't either, but we are doing everything we can to get them into a hot war,” Kennedy said on Monday in an interview with the Full Send Podcast.
Last month, Kennedy suspended his campaign and threw support behind former US President Donald Trump. Kennedy’s name will not appear on ballots in swing states – a move designed to help Trump in those states.
Kennedy said that Trump’s willingness to hold negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the conflict in Ukraine would singlehandedly justify his support for the former president.
