00:00Hillary Clinton offers rare praise for Trump.

00:03Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently applauded President Donald Trump's

00:07tougher tone on Russia, describing it as a welcome shift, and saying Russian President

00:12Vladimir Putin only responds to strength.

00:16News.com has learned that her comments follow Trump's announcement that Ukraine could reclaim

00:21its pre-war borders with international support, which is a notable change from his earlier

00:25position on the conflict.

00:27Trump's shift in policy regarding Ukraine.

00:30Speaking on Truth Social after a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in New

00:34York, Trump said Kyiv could regain the original borders from where this war started, with

00:40help from Europe and NATO.

00:43The statement, coming just hours after his United Nations General Assembly address, marked

00:47Trump's first clear endorsement of Ukraine's territorial integrity since the 2022 invasion.

00:54His remarks stood in contrast to previous proposals that hinted at a possible land-for-peace arrangement.

01:00Clinton lauded Trump's new position.

01:02Appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Clinton told host Joe Scarborough she welcomed Trump's

01:08shift, noting that Putin does not respond to any kind of rhetoric, and only responds to

01:13strength.

01:15Said the former first lady, you have to show strength.

01:17You have to back strength.

01:19You have to be strong in order to deal with him.

01:22Clinton agrees with Trump's jab.

01:24Clinton also highlighted Trump's jab at Moscow's military capability.

01:28There was a very interesting comment that Trump made.

01:31She said, quoting his post, which read,

01:34What kind of military does Russia have exactly?

01:36They couldn't even take over Ukraine.

01:39Clinton agreed, saying the war has revealed that we overestimated Russia's military strength.

01:45Clinton recently said she would nominate Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, but only if he were

01:52to end the war in Ukraine without Kyiv giving up any territory.

01:56Clinton, who ran against Trump in the 2016 presidential election and has remained a sharp

02:01critic of his presidency, made the offer during an appearance on the Raging Moderates podcast.

02:07She noted Trump's long-stated desire for a Nobel Peace Prize, but said that she would

02:11only nominate him on one condition, Ukraine must not be forced to surrender land to Russia.

02:17Look, if we could pull that off, if President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate

02:22him for a Nobel Peace Prize.

02:24Because my goal here is not to allow capitulation to Putin, aided and abetted by the United States,

02:29Clinton said.
