New York: Former President Donald Trump has asserted that there was an imminent risk of World War III and global conflagration from nuclear proliferation which only he could prevent. "We're heading into World War III territory," he said this week.
This was "because of the power of weapons, nuclear weapons in particular, but other weapons also", he said, adding that he hated to update the US atomic arsenal. "You need a president that's not going to be taking you into war," he said.
"We won't have World War III when I'm elected," he said. "But with these clowns that you have in there now, you're going to end up having World War III, and it's going to be a war like no other," he added. Trump made the ominous claim during a town hall meeting hosted by Sean Hannity, a conservative Fox News broadcaster, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The Republican presidential nominee claimed that the Ukraine War, the Gaza conflict, and the deadly October 7 terrorist attack on Israel would have never happened if he had been the president.
| Donald Trump's campaign says that it brought in $130 million in August, not as much as the month prior but a figure that his advisers said put the GOP nominee in good position for the remaining two months of the general election campaign, the AP news agency reported. Most of that figure 98 per cent came in the form of donations under $200, Trump's campaign said, with an average donation of $56. |
