"War is now raging in Europe and the Middle East, a growing specter of conflict hangs over Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, and all of Asia, and our planet is teetering on the edge of World War Three. And this will be a war like no other.
I will end every single international crisis that the current administration has created - including the horrible war with Russia and Ukraine - which would have never happened if I were president - and the war caused by the attack on Israel - which would have never happened if I were president,” Trump stated in his final speech.
