John Catsimatidis warns Russia, China, Iran and North Korea could target Trump before Nov. 3

  • John Catsimatidis warned that four U.S. adversaries could seek to weaken President Donald Trump.
  • Trump’s approval stood at 36%, while disapproval reached 64% in the latest NBC News poll.
  • Catsimatidis donated $2.4 million to Trump and congressional Republicans in 2024, according to The Washington Post.

Billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis warned that Russia, China, Iran and North Korea could seek to weaken President Donald Trump ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm election. Speaking with FOX Business’ Cheryl Casone on "Mornings with FOX Business," Catsimatidis said Trump’s background as a businessman makes him a tougher obstacle for foreign governments pursuing economic or geopolitical advantages over the United States. Catsimatidis, chairman and CEO of Red Apple Group, also criticized Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, saying Canada could see greater leverage if Trump were weakened, amid continuing U.S.-Canada trade and economic tensions. Reflecting on the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, in which he said he lost four friends and a cousin, Catsimatidis warned of another possible attack and urged voters to support Trump on Nov. 3. Catsimatidis is the owner of New York supermarket chain Gristedes, has an estimated net worth of $6.2 billion according to Forbes, and also owns United Refining and real estate holdings. In 2024, he donated $2.4 million to support Trump and congressional Republicans, nearly twice his 2016 contribution, according to The Washington Post. The comments came as an NBC News poll showed Trump’s approval rating at 36%, with disapproval at 64%, while approval among Republicans fell to 80% from 83%. The share of Republicans who strongly approved dropped to 41% from 52%, the first time NBC News polling recorded that figure below half. The latest poll was conducted from Aug. 20 through Sept. 1, compared with March and April for the spring survey.
