Notably, NBC and0:13CNN declined to carry the speech live.0:15Fox News, Max, CBS, and several ABC0:17affiliates did. At the center of Trump's0:19address was an explosive and0:21unsubstantiated claim that China0:23acquired 220 million US voter files and0:26meddled in the 2020 election. But US0:28intelligence agencies concluded back in0:302021 that China deployed no interference0:33efforts to alter the outcome of that0:35election. China's Ministry of Foreign0:37Affairs called the allegations entirely0:39fabricated. Trump's allegations against0:41Beijing come despite intelligence0:43assessments that Russia, not China,0:46conducted influence campaigns favoring0:47him in both 2016 and 2020.

Meanwhile, a new1:28poll shows President Trump's approval1:30rating has dropped to 37%. Democrats1:32argue the primetime address was a1:34deliberate distraction from the Iran war1:36and the cost of living crisis, issues1:38voters rank as their top concerns, which1:40Trump barely addressed.مقاله را بخوانیدخط زمانی داستانHeyDexویدیوی کوتاه ↗
