US President Donald Trump stated that the war between Ukraine and Russia could escalate into World War III, but he currently does not see such a threat. Trump said this in an interview with Politico, as reported by UNN.
This is a war (Russia against Ukraine - ed.) that should never have happened. Frankly, it wouldn't have happened if I were president, and it didn't happen for four years. I watched what was happening and said, "Wow, they're going to cause trouble here." And it started, and it could have escalated into World War III. Frankly, I think that probably won't happen now. I think you would have had a much bigger problem than you have now.
However, according to him, it is a big problem for Europe, and "they are not handling it well."
