Donald Trump issues World War Three warning

President Donald Trump issued a warning about the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war, cautioning that these kinds of conflicts can escalate into world wars.

“Things like this end up in third world wars. And I told that the other day, I said you know, everyone keeps playing games, you’ll end up in a third world war. And we don’t want to see that happen,” Trump told reporters at the Oval Office on Thursday. 

Trump added that the U.S. was “working very hard” in its ongoing efforts to broker a peace deal, which he said had support from both sides, with the exception of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Zelensky has long said that Kyiv would not agree to surrender territory to Russia, which is a part of Trump’s proposal.
