Trump warns of potential World War III escalation

Former President Donald Trump has issued a warning about the potential for World War III. He voiced his concerns during an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle” on Fox News, discussing the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Trump stated that if the situation escalates further, the United States could be drawn into the war. Trump is working to help mediate a peace agreement between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He emphasized his desire to end the conflict to prevent American troops from getting involved. "But, you know, strange things happen,” Trump said, highlighting the unpredictable nature of international conflicts. Following a recent two-hour phone call with Putin, Trump described their conversation as productive. Although Putin did not agree to a full cease-fire, he did commit to stopping attacks on energy and infrastructure targets. Trump noted that Russian forces currently have a strategic advantage in the region, with many Ukrainian soldiers encircled. Additionally, Trump spoke with Zelenskyy on Wednesday for the first time since a previous disagreement that led to tension between them. His efforts appear focused on finding a peaceful resolution to the ongoing hostilities.
