Donald Trump warns about a serious global threat, calling it the greatest danger to humanity and a potential cause of world destruction.
Former President Donald Trump recently shared a serious warning about what he sees as the biggest danger to humanity.
He believes that nuclear weapons are a major threat that could potentially end the world.
This statement was made during an interview on Fox News.
Donald Trump claims nuclear weapons are the real danger
In his interview, Trump argued that instead of focusing solely on climate change, people should be more concerned about the greater risk posed by nuclear weapons.
He explained that the destruction caused by these weapons is unimaginable.
Trump mentioned that the United States has over 5,000 nuclear warheads, second only to Russia, which has more than 5,500.
According to Trump, the money spent on nuclear weapons is concerning.
He stated, “We spend a lot of money of nuclear weapons – the level of destruction is beyond anything you can imagine.
“It’s just bad that you have to spend all this money on something that if it’s used, it’s probably the end of the world.”
Trump disagrees with Biden on prioritizing climate change.
Trump criticized former President Joe Biden for focusing on climate change.
He believes that Biden is wrong to prioritize global warming over the nuclear threat.
Trump emphasized that nuclear weapons are “big monsters” that can cause destruction over great distances.
“The greatest is sitting on shelves in various countries called ‘nuclear weapons’ that are big monsters that can blow your heads off for miles and miles and miles,” he added.
The US president is also concerned about Iran’s nuclear program
During the interview, Trump also discussed Iran’s nuclear program. He mentioned that he sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
In the letter, he expressed hope for a new deal to control Iran’s advancing nuclear capabilities.
Trump wants to replace the deal he withdrew from during his first term.
“I’ve written them a letter saying, ‘I hope you’re going to negotiate because if we have to go in militarily, it’s going to be a terrible thing,’” Trump said.
“I would rather negotiate a deal. I’m not sure that everybody agrees with me, but we can make a deal that would be just as good as if you won militarily.
Trump conveyed a sense of urgency regarding the nuclear situation.
He stated, “The time is happening now. Something’s going to happen one way or the other.”
“I hope you’re going to negotiate because it’s going to be a lot better for Iran and I think they want to get that letter.
He hopes that Iran will respond positively to his letter, but he is prepared for other options if necessary.
Donald Trump advocates for talks on nuclear weapon reduction.
In previous statements, Trump has called for discussions with China and Russia about their nuclear programs.
He questions the need for new nuclear weapons when existing stockpiles are already overwhelming.
Trump noted that the world could be destroyed many times over with the current arsenals.
He believes that the money spent on developing new weapons could be better used for positive projects.
His focus is on reducing the threat of nuclear conflict rather than escalating it.
“There’s no reason for us to be building brand new nuclear weapons. We already have so many,” he explained.
“You could destroy the world 50 times over, 100 times over. And here we are building new nuclear weapons, and they’re building nuclear weapons.
“We’re all spending a lot of money that we could be spending on other things that are actually, hopefully, much more productive.”
