President Donald Trump warned the public that “monster” nuclear weapons were the biggest threat to humanity and could “end the world” tomorrow during his interview on FOX News‘ Sunday Morning Futures.
“The greatest [threat] 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,” Trump said while discussing the dangers of stockpiling nuclear weapons amid his push to restart arms control talks with Russia and China.
The president then discussed the amount of money the United States has spent on its nuclear weapon program as it currently has the second-largest stockpile of nukes behind only Russia globally.
“We spend a lot of money of nuclear weapons — the level of destruction is beyond anything you can imagine,” Trump said. “It’s just bad that you have to spend all this money on something that if it’s used, it’s probably the end of the world.”
Trump then criticized former President Joe Biden and other world leaders who had publicly claimed that climate change posed the biggest threat to humanity.
“I watched Biden for years say the existential threat is from the climate,” Trump said. “I said ‘no’.”
“They talk about the climate and they talk about the dangers of the climate but they don’t talk about the dangers of a nuclear weapon, which could happen tomorrow.”
