Trump speaks as he returns to Capitol Hill

In a wide-ranging speech to the House GOP on Thursday, Donald Trump insisted the Russia-Ukraine war would not have happened under his watch and urged Republicans to get better about messaging on abortion - but didn't seem to explain how. The former president told a horde of Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill that Vladimir Putin is 'more afraid of him than Biden,' Foreign Affairs Chair Mike McCaul told after the meeting. 'He said he told Putin that if he invaded Ukraine , he would hit him hard,' the Texas Republican went on. Trump had a particular concern for the Russian nuclear submarines off of Cuba , and hardly if at all mentioned Israel , according to the recollection of members leaving the meeting.
