The US President has claimed that he has averted World War III as the Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine could have escalated.

Donald Trump claims that Europe is doing a “bad job” and they talk too much but “do nothing” and the war is going “on and on.”

President Trump said in an interview with Politico on Tuesday, “It started, and it could have escalated into World War III.

“Frankly, I think it probably won’t happen now. I think if I wasn’t president, we could have World War III.”

Trump added, “I think you would have a much bigger problem than you have now. But it’s a big problem now. It’s a big problem for Europe, and they’re not doing a good job of it.”

President Trump was asked about the general consensus that Europe will continue to support Ukraine to win the war, he said, “Until they fall, yes.”

He added, that “they (European countries – IF-U) should support it (Ukraine – IF-U).

Trump said he knows all the European leaders, he said amongst them there are good and bad leaders.

He said, “But they are doing a bad job, Europe is doing a bad job in many aspects. They talk too much, but they do nothing. We talk about Ukraine.

“They talk, but they do nothing. And the war just goes on and on, it has been going on for four years.”

The US President strongly believes that Europe is “collapsing” which is “falling into decline,” specifically over the issue of immigration, he praised Poland and Hungary as they “do not let anyone into their countries.

Trump was asked if EU leaders are weak and if they can still be allies, he said, “It depends,” adding, “I think they’re weak, but I also think that they want to be so politically correct. I think they don’t know what to do.”

On the subject of immigration, on Friday the US National Security Strategy warned that Europe has economic problems as they “eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure” within two decades.

The Trump administration said, “The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birth rates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.”
