During a rally in Reno, Nevada, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz criticized former President Donald Trump, calling him “a risk to our national security” in response to recent reports about Trump's alleged communication with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The reports suggest that Trump and Putin have had multiple calls since Trump's departure from the White House in 2021, a claim that Trump denied in a subsequent interview.
Walz highlighted the concerning nature of Trump's alleged frequent communication with a 'dictator' like Putin, contrasting it with his own approach to foreign relations. He emphasized that neither he nor Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris have dictators on speed dial, taking a dig at Trump's reported interactions with Putin.
