US President Donald Trump announced his intention to impose economic sanctions to prevent a world war. This was reported by UNN with reference to a government meeting at the White House on Tuesday, August 26.
We have economic sanctions. I'm talking about economic sanctions because we're not going to have a world war. I think if I hadn't won the election, Ukraine would have been in a world war. Now it won't turn into a world war.
"There will be no world war, but there will be an economic war. And if there is an economic war, it will be bad. Bad for Russia. And I don't want that. But I will still have to look, because, you know, Zelensky is not innocent either. It takes two to tango," Trump added.
