Biden says can't trust Trump with nuclear launch codes

LORDSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump can't be trusted to control the nation's nuclear arsenal.

"Just imagine giving this guy access to the nuclear codes, a guy who says how he'd consider using nuclear weapons," Biden told a group of about 250 people at a United Auto Workers union hall outside of Youngstown.

Biden said the three presidents are "scared to death" about the prospects of a Trump presidency and whether he would maintain the country's commitments to its NATO allies if they faced aggression from Russia.
