Former President Donald Trump launched a fierce attack on President Joe Biden during the 2024 presidential debate, accusing him of being a “Manchurian candidate” controlled by China.

Trump claimed Biden was paid by China and criticized his handling of tariffs and trade policies.

Trump warned that China’s economic actions could lead to the country gaining undue influence over the United States.

He urged Biden to take stronger measures against China, alleging that current policies damaged the nation’s interests.
