Joe Biden and Donald Trump face off in first US presidential debate

US President Joe Biden and Donald Trump have faced off in the first debate in the 2024 presidential election campaign.

"As far as Russia and Ukraine, if we have a real president, a president that was respected by Putin, then he would have never invaded Ukraine." The Middle East was next, with Biden saying the US had"saved Israel", referencing the ongoing support from his government and the organised defence against a massive Iranian air attack.

The only time Mr Trump appeared even slightly uncomfortable was when Biden pointed out his recent criminal charges and calling him a convicted felon.
