The audio from 2024 captures Don revealing what he apparently said to mad Vlad during his presidency between 2017 and 2021.
He's heard saying: "With Putin I said, 'If you go into Ukraine, I'm going to bomb the s*** out of Moscow. I'm telling you I have no choice.'"
Trump then claims gobsmacked Putin responded: "I don't believe you, no way."
To which Don bluntly spat back: "Way."
Later in the bombshell recording, the President can also be heard claiming he gave a similar warning to China's President Xi Jinping if he invaded Taiwan.
Trump appears to say: "I said the same thing to them, I said, 'If you go into Taiwan I'm going to bomb the s*** out of Beijing.'
"He thought I was crazy. He said 'Beijing! You can't even bomb [inaudible].'
"I said, 'I have no choice'. He believed me 10 per cent… and we never had a problem."
The unbelievable comments have been exposed in a string of audio tapes created while the Republican was on his campaign trail at fundraisers in New York and Florida.
They were obtained by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf, who then shared the audio recordings with CNN.

In the latest of Trump's expletive comments, on Tuesday the raging President slammed Putin for talking "bull****" about the Ukraine war and making "meaningless" promises.
It came imminently after he vowed to send more weapons to Ukraine as he appears to be growing increasingly frustrated with the Russian tyrant.
"We get a lot of bull**** thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth," Trump told reporters during a televised cabinet meeting at the White House.
"He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless."
Trump reiterated that he was "very unhappy" with Putin since their phone call last week made no progress on the Ukraine peace deal - something the US president has pushed for since returning to power.
But Putin has snubbed peace and is instead steadily increasing his overnight bombing raids - which could soon hit 1,000 a day.
Trump's criticism of Putin came a day after he said he would send more weapons to Ukraine - a sweeping reversal of Washington's announcement last week that it was halting some arms shipments.
The White House confirmed on July 1 that shipments of certain air defence missiles and other precision bombs to Ukraine had been stopped because of concerns about dwindling weapons stockpiles.

However, Trump reversed the decision, adding: "We're going to send some more weapons.
"We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They're getting hit very hard now."
"We're going to have to send more weapons, defensive weapons, primarily."
Moscow had no immediate reaction to Trump's strongly worded comments about Putin, but the Kremlin said that sending arms to Ukraine only serves to prolong the conflict.
"It is obvious of course that these actions probably do not align with attempts to promote a peaceful resolution," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying in a briefing.
And the US Defence Secretary said in May that China is "credibly preparing" for a military invasion of Taiwan and the attack is "real and imminent".
Pete Hegeseth said that Communist Beijing was "rehearsing for the real deal" and described the looming threat as a "wake-up call" for the world.
Speaking at the annual Singapore defence forum Shangri-la Dialogue, Hegeseth said China was preparing to use military force to upend the balance of power.
The Pentagon boss also accused Beijing of carrying out cyber attacks, harassing its neighbours, and "illegally seizing and militarising lands" in the South China Sea.

Donald Trump Ukraine plans prompts Pentagon peace summit with UK military chiefs
The Pentagon meeting, attended by Britain's top military chiefs, came amid deep unease in European capitals over the US president's changing stance about committing US resources British military chiefs are gathering at the Pentagon tonight to discuss exactly what role America is prepared to play in ensuring Ukraine's future security. The meeting, along with other European generals, comes amid deep unease in European capitals over Donald Trump's changing stance about committing US resources. Security minister Dan Jarvis yesterday said the talks about ending the war in Ukraine marked a "pivotal moment". "We are closer to peace than we've been at any point previously,' he said. 'And the UK Government - the Prime Minister has been clear about this - will want to play our full part in terms of ensuring that we secure that peace." Asked whether he is uncomfortable about "kowtowing" to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Mr Jarvis said he would describe it as "diplomacy" and "the best strategy to try and get a peace settlement". The minister added: "I think in situations such as this, you've got to be pragmatic. "The loss of life in Ukraine is horrific. "This is a conflict that has gone on for far too long. It needs to be brought to an end." Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, Britain's Chief of the Defence Staff, led the UK delegation at the Pentagon in Washington DC. He is understood to have told his American counterparts the UK is prepared to send troops to defend Ukraine's skies and seas but not to the frontline with Russia, as planning intensifies for a postwar settlement. Radakin joined senior counterparts from Germany, France, Finland and Italy in what officials described as a meeting of the 'coalition of the willing.' According to a senior UK official, last night's formal Pentagon session focused on 'security guarantees and peace deal monitoring. " The discussions were held behind closed doors, but were closely watched for any indication of what Washington is willing to put on the table. Trump has already drawn a firm line. On Monday, as Ukrainian leader Volodmyr Zelensky arrived at the White House, he initially said US troops could play a role, but he later stated it would not happen. His stance, while not unexpected, raises pressing questions about whether the US is prepared to provide other forms of support, ranging from intelligence sharing to air defence and the use of US bases in Europe. At the heart of the talks lies the single issue of whether Trump is willing to offer Ukraine what his adviser Steve Witkoff this week described as 'Article-5-like' assurance. It echoes NATO's principle that an attack on one member is an attack on all. For Ukraine, currently outside the Alliance, such pledges would be unprecedented. For Moscow, they would be viewed as a direct escalation. Ahead of last night's meeting, one Western diplomat said the 'vagueness' of Trump's language had fuelled confusion and anxiety. "European leaders need to know whether this is political theatre or an actual commitment,' they said. 'The difference could shape the entire outcome of the war.' There are also questions over whether coalition forces could rely on US military infrastructure in Europe to support operations. Bases in Germany, Italy and the UK remain critical hubs for NATO, but their use under a purely European-led mission would require White House consent. Another item on the agenda was intelligence sharing. Ukraine's battlefield successes have been heavily reliant on US surveillance and satellite imagery. Any scaling back could benefit Russia, while enhanced guarantees would signal long-term American engagement. Perhaps the most contentious proposal, said to be raised privately by some European chiefs, is whether to consider a no-fly zone in parts of Ukraine. While seen as highly unlikely under Trump, the fact that it remains on the list underscores European concern about Moscow's continued aerial bombardment. The Pentagon talks are not expected to yield immediate announcements. Officials stressed that discussions will continue in the coming weeks. Yet Putin cannot ignore the symbolism of five of Europe's top generals flying to Washington to hear Trump's position firsthand. One defence analyst said: 'This is the moment Europe finds out whether Trump is prepared to lead, or whether he expects the rest of NATO to shoulder the burden alone.'

Dan Jarvis is the model of a modern flailing minister
I wonder how No. 10 decides which minister is up for the ritual humiliation of the Today programme each morning. Russian roulette? An elaborate lottery? A competition – last person to spell out 'TOOLMAKER' using alphabetti spaghetti? Either way, today's lucky victim for the airwaves was Home Office minister Dan Jarvis. 'Let's speak to someone who should know what's going on in the Home Office,' began presenter Emma Barnett, ominously. Someone enter the word 'should' into the Mr Universe competition: for here it was doing a lot of heavy lifting. Mr Jarvis made an audible gulp as he was introduced as somebody who knew what he was talking about. Given the Starmer government's propensity for sending out its lower-order goons into acts of broadcasting masochism without proper briefing, it's quite possible that until this moment Mr Jarvis believed himself to be giving a word or two about kittens or sunbeams. As he panicked, Mr Jarvis began throwing words around with gay abandon. He circled round himself, looped over himself and tied himself into a knot. 'The reality is there will be a range of different arrangements… no one thinks hotels are the appropriate setting… the appropriate setting will be a range of different arrangements.' Stock phrase called back to stock phrase in chorused glee. We were basically in Gilbert and Sullivan territory: he was the very model of a modern flailing minister. Despite Mr Jarvis's protestations that actually the government was phasing out hotel use, Emma Barnett pointed out that no alternative to hotels had been found and, as it stood, the practice of just piling people into hotels 'was asylum policy and it's in chaos'. The Minister made a noise like a soul escaping the body. Perhaps it was his dignity making a final, Dunkirk-style evacuation because after this, he launched into the same old 'it's not our fault' spiel. It's this familiar nonsense which we are so used to hearing from government ministers as the fruits of their own incompetence are presented to them, like one might present an uneaten dinner to a stubborn toddler or a recently discovered indoor mess to a recalcitrant pet. 'Do you think you're going to fulfil your election pledge to close asylum hotels?' asked Ms Barnett, in a tone which suggested she knew the answer already. Cue a bizarre directional waffle from Mr Jarvis, everything was going to happen 'up stream', 'in the round', 'at source' and 'at pace'. A sort of Hokey Cokey of incoherence. However it is they decide on who goes out to bat first thing in the morning, I bet Mr Jarvis is praying it won't be him again.

Taiwanese court sentences ex-legislator's son for illegal fuel transfers to North Korea
The son of a former Taiwanese legislator has been sentenced to more than two years in prison for a scheme that illegally supplied thousands of tons of fuel oil to North Korea. Huang Chung-wei was sentenced to 28 months in prison by the district court in the southern port city of Kaohsiung on Tuesday. Five others also received prison terms. They were convicted of taking part in loading the fuel onto ships in Taiwan and making the transfers in collaboration with Kwek Kee Seng, a Singaporean businessman wanted by the U.S. whose whereabouts were unknown. Such activity is a violation of Taiwan's Counter-Terrorism Financing Act and other statutes. the court said. Illegal transfers at sea are one of the few ways North Korea, an authoritarian dictatorship considered one of the world's biggest violators of human rights, can obtain fuel because of strict United Nations sanctions against its nuclear weapons and missile programs. While Taiwan is not a UN member at the insistence of North Korean ally China, it has pledged to follow all of the world body's rulings on Pyongyang. The case against Huang dates back to 2019, when he and Kwek allegedly purchased a fleet of tankers, loaded them with fuel and sent them to make the transfers. North Korea is known to operate a 'shadow fleet' of ships operating without active electronic identification equipment. However, U.S. intelligence agencies were able to track the transfers by satellite and provided the information to Kaohsiung investigators, the court said. . Huang's father was a member of Taiwan's legislature for the ruling Democratic Progressive Party. It wasn't clear how much money he made from the scheme or whether he would appeal the sentence.
