Trump warns Ukraine’s incursion into Russia could spark ‘World War 3’ as he trashes Harris on foreign policy

Donald Trump‘s latest attempt to pivot his campaign towards policy-oriented attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris saw him fall back into a familiar pattern of offering concessions to Vladimir Putin and Russia as he attempted to paint Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as pushing America towards a third world war.

The ex-president, who was speaking to members of the National Guard Association of the United States inin Detroit, appeared to take a stance against the recent Ukrainian incursion into Russian territory near Kursk.

The gaining of ground by Ukrainian troops, which analysts have said is meant to relieve pressure for Ukrainian troops elsewhere in the theater of war, Trump argued was actually another sign that “World War 3” was closer than ever.

“Look at what’s happening in Ukraine. They’re surging into Russia. You’re going to have World War 3,” he said.

Trump made his remarks just hours after he attended a memorial service at Arlington National Cemetery for 13 US service members killed in a suicide bombing during the chaotic pullout of US troops from Afghanistan in 2021.

There, the ex-president linked Biden’s management of that withdrawal — which Trump himself had initiated under a much-accelerated timeline — to the ongoing instability around the world.

The argument is one he has made in a less concise manner before, but he explained it again Monday before the members of the Guard.

Trump further argued that the messy Afghanistan withdrawal from Kabul and the Abbey Gate attack “gave us Russia going into Ukraine. It gave us the October 7 attack in Israel”.
