Fri Feb 21 00:15:24 UTC 2025: ## Trump Claims World War III Imminent, Credits Himself with Averted Conflict

**Miami, FL** – Former President Donald Trump delivered a stark warning at the FII Priority Summit in Miami on Thursday, asserting that the world is on the brink of World War III but claiming his leadership is the only thing preventing the global conflict. Trump directly attributed the averted war to his absence from the White House, stating that under President Biden’s administration, a global war would have already begun.

“There’s no profit for anyone in having World War III, and you’re not so far away from it,” Trump declared. He continued, “If we would’ve had this administration for another year, you would’ve been in a war three, and now it’s not going to happen.”

Trump emphasized that while the US would not participate directly in any future conflicts, his strong leadership would ensure peace. “We’re going to stop people from these stupid, never-ending wars,” he stated. “We’re not going to partake in them ourselves, but we’ll be stronger and more powerful than anybody by far.”

These comments follow Trump’s renewed criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump reiterated his assertion that the US has disproportionately funded the conflict, spending $200 billion more than Europe, while questioning the efficacy of the military aid. He accused Zelenskyy of manipulating the US into investing billions in a “war that couldn’t be won,” referring to the Ukrainian president as a “dictator without elections.” Trump cited a social media post agreeing with his assessment of the Ukraine conflict, including a quote from Elon Musk praising his “instincts” on the matter. The former president’s comments have sparked significant debate and controversy.
