“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 [Biden] administration for another year, you would’ve been in a war three, and now it’s not going to happen,” news agency ANI quoted Donald Trump as saying at the event.

Trump added that although the US will not participate in the wars going on across the world, he would work towards stopping 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 on Wednesday called Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy a “dictator” and in a post on TruthSocial said, “Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 billion dollars, to go into a war that couldn’t be won, that never had to start, but a war that he, without the US and “TRUMP,” will never be able to settle.”
Earlier in the week, Trump said that Russia was willing to stop the war and stated that he planned to meet Putin soon.
“They [Russia] want to stop the barbarianism that’s going on over there. Soldiers are being killed by thousands on a weekly basis,” he said.
