Trump: Ukraine’s attack on Kursk threatens to ignite World War III

Key Issues

Former US President and presidential candidate Donald Trump said that Ukraine's attack on the Russian Kursk region threatens to ignite "World War III". This came according to what Trump stated during his speech to members of the US National Guard Association in Detroit, as part of his attack on the foreign policy of his rival, Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris, where he continued that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris "are pushing the United States towards World War III". Trump said that the control of Ukrainian forces over Russian territory, which analysts said aims to "relieve pressure on Ukrainian forces elsewhere in the war theater", was in fact another sign that "World War III is closer than ever". Trump has once again stressed that he can 'end the war between Russia and Ukraine within months of being elected president,' and while his Democratic opponents accuse him of planning to threaten Ukraine with giving up territory to achieve this goal, neither Trump nor anyone from his team has disclosed any specific plan to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
