US President Donald Trump on Thursday, while speaking at FII Priority Summit in Miami, warned that “World War III is not far away” but claimed that his leadership would prevent it from happening.
Trump said that if former US President Joe Biden’s administration had continued, the world would have been in war.
“There’s no profit for anyone in having World War III, and you’re not so far away from it. I’ll tell you right now. You’re not so far away. If we would’ve had this administration for another year, you would’ve been in a war three, and now it’s not going to happen,” he said.
Trump said that although the US will not participate in any of these wars, he will stop them.
“We’re going to stop people from these stupid, never-ending wars. We’re not going to partake in them ourselves, but we’ll be stronger and more powerful than anybody by far. And if it ever came to war, there is nobody that will be able to come close to us, but we don’t think that’s going to ever happen,” he said.
Trump quoted Elon Musk in a post on X and said, “Elon Musk: The President’s instincts on Ukraine are absolutely right. It is really sad that so many parents have lost their sons, and so many sons their fathers in this pointless war”.
