US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (local time) warned that the “World War III” is not far away, however, said that it will be prevented from happening during his presidency.
He said that the world would have already entered into “World War III” had Biden been the President “for another year”.
“Around the world, I’m moving quickly to end wars, settle conflicts, and restore the planet to peace — I want peace, and I don’t want to see … everybody being killed,” Trump said while addressing the Future Investment Initiative Institute Priority Summit in Miami, CNN reported.
He cited the devastation in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine to back his claim but stressed that his administration is “going to end it”.
“And take a look at the death in the Middle East, and the death that’s taking place between Russia and Ukraine that’s been going on, and we’re going to end it. 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 have had (President Joe Biden’s) administration for another year, you would have been in World War III, and now it’s not going to happen,” Trump was quoted as saying by CNN.
Trump, who recently called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “dictator without elections“, dubbed him a “modestly successful comedian”.
“A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left,” Trump earlier wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Earlier on Wednesday, Trump and Zelenskyy indulged in a war of words on social media as the latter said that the Republican leader “lives in the disinformation space” by Russia and is “helping Putin out of his international isolation”.
“He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing (Joe) Biden ‘like a fiddle’,” Trump said in a separate Truth Social post on Zelenskyy.
Trump said that Zelenskyy has done a “terrible job” during the war which has led his country to be “shattered” and “millions of people have unnecessarily died”.
He said that the war cannot be brought to an end if talks are not held with both sides.
