During a White House media interaction, Trump mentioned that when he assumed office, relations between the Biden administration and Moscow were at their lowest point. He claimed to have restored diplomatic ties that were suspended after February 2022. Regarding the Ukraine war, he suggested that he had improved the dire circumstances significantly and that a resolution could be reached very soon.

Trump labeled the Ukraine conflict as “Biden’s war” and condemned the military support provided to Ukraine. He estimated that this support would cost the U.S. approximately $350 billion. Earlier this year, Trump indicated his intention to recoup these losses through a mineral agreement with Kyiv. However, a potential challenge lies in the fact that the mineral resources involved in the U.S.-Ukraine agreement are located in the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics, which voted to join Russia in 2022.

During World War II, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Three days later, on August 9, a nuclear attack was launched on Nagasaki. Fortunately, no country has used nuclear weapons since then. However, given current circumstances, there are growing fears of a Third World War. The likelihood of conflict is particularly high between the United States and Russia, South Korea and North Korea, and the United States and China. A survey conducted by YouGov explored the public’s views on the possibility of nuclear war in Europe.
