Donald Trump places world in main ‘peril’ with recent nuclear arms race ‘shut’
A Western security source has claimed that the controversial US President has “sent a message” that may indicate something that means “extreme peril” for the world
A Western security source has issued a stark warning, suggesting that US President Donald Trump may have put the world in “extreme peril”.
In a dire warning this week, a security source claimed that the controversial US President has “sent a message” that the nation’s nuclear umbrella could “one day be folded”.
This protective measure currently extends to 30 countries, but according to the I newspaper, Trump’s ‘America First’ policy could lead to an arms race.
The source warned: “Whether he meant it or not, Trump has sent a message that the US nuclear umbrella might one day be folded.” They added that this could lead to a dangerous situation where more countries seek to develop nuclear weapons.
They stated: “That is a sentiment of extreme peril because the list of countries with the technical ability to build a nuke is longer than many might realise. Once a South Korea or a Germany signals that they’re going for the bomb, it will be hard indeed to stop others following suit.”
In a worrying development, officials from US-allied countries like Poland, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and South Korea have intensified their talk about obtaining the technology needed to build nuclear weapons.
At the same time, the Middle Eastern nation of Iran is reportedly just weeks away from being able to produce a nuclear bomb if it decides to do so.
Additionally, Egypt, Taiwan, and Turkey are seen as potential nuclear aspirants should other nations move forward with their programs, reports the Irish Star.
President Trump lamented the expenditure on America’s nuclear capabilities, referring to them as “big monsters”.
Speaking to Sunday Morning Futures, he remarked: “The greatest is sitting on shelves in various countries called ‘nuclear weapons’ that are big monsters that can blow your heads off for miles and miles and miles.”
He went on to say: “It’s just bad you have to spend all this money on something that if it’s used, it’s probably the end of the world.”
These comments come as the Trump administration continues to push for a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, with a recent partial ceasefire focusing on energy infrastructure and the Black Sea.
Russia leads the global tally with over 5,500 nuclear warheads, while the US holds 5,044, spread across its own territory and in allied nations such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Turkey.
