At a rally in Pennsylvania, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris‘ “gross incompetence” would lead the U.S. into World War III if she wins the upcoming Nov. 5 election.
Trump expressed concerns over Harris’ ability to manage global challenges posed by leaders like Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping.
World at risk of global war, says Trump
Trump stated that the world has “never been so close” to global conflict, pledging that if elected, he would avoid a large-scale war. He argued that a Harris presidency would lead to military drafts and wars in countries Americans “have never heard of.”
The former president stressed the potential risks of electing Harris in the current global climate.
Ongoing conflicts pose a challenge for Harris
Analysts have highlighted that ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine remain significant challenges for Harris, given that they occurred during the Biden administration.
Harris and her allies have countered by pointing out Trump’s previous admiration for authoritarian leaders such as Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, calling his foreign policy positions concerning.
