The US presidential candidate from the Democratic Party Hillary Clinton won the first tour of the debate with the candidate from the Republicans Donald Trump. According to the CNN survey , 62 percent of voters consider it the winner. Trump's victory was awarded only 27 percent of the respondents.
The debate of candidates lasted 90 minutes and included topics such as ensuring US security, further development of the country and strengthen its economy.
Clinton, according to the BBC, accused Trump of indulgence to cyber attacks against American state institutions and companies, for which, in her opinion, the Kremlin stands. “We will protect the inhabitants of our country, and the Russians should understand this,” she added.
Trump, in turn, stated that not Russia, but China or another country could stand behind the cyber attacks, and reproached the current American administration for losing an information war with extremists.
"She says" Russia, Russia, Russia, "but Russia, or China, or some person weighing 400 pounds, sitting on bed in his room, could do this,” Trump added.
The candidate from the Republicans also noted that he considers the nuclear arsenal that Russia has more powerful than that of the United States. "Russia expands its capabilities" with regard to nuclear weapons, Trump believes. He emphasized that nuclear weapons, and not climate change, "is the most serious threat to the United States."
The debate of the candidates took place at the University of Hofstra, located near New York. The following meetings will take place on October 9 and 19.
