Donald Trump says he must be re-elected as US President to prevent World War III.
The former president has claimed that he would be able to end the Ukraine war in "one day" if he wins the race for the White House in 2024.
In a marathon speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday (04.03.23), Trump said: "We're going to have World War III if something doesn't happen fast. I am the only candidate who can make this promise - I will prevent World War III."
The controversial Republican Party politician is determined to stop the US from spending billions of dollars on the Ukraine conflict and has boldly claimed that he will put an end to the fighting before he even takes office should he win back the presidency.
Trump said: "Before I even arrive in the Oval Office I will have the disastrous war between Russia and Ukraine settled. It will be settled quickly.
"I will get the problem solved, it will take me no longer than one day.
"We are never going to go back to a party that wants to give unlimited money to fight foreign wars, that are endless wars."
Trump and his supporters dominated the CPAC event in Maryland and he described the 2024 election as the "final battle" for the future of the United States - which he claims is being led into "oblivion" by President Joe Biden.
He told the crowd: "We are going to finish what we started. We're going to complete the mission. We're going to see this through to the ultimate victory.
"This is the final battle. I know it, you know it, they know it, everybody knows it. This is it. And if they win, we don't have a country."
Trump continued: "In 2016, I declared 'I am your voice'. Today, I add: 'I am your warrior. I am your justice'. And, for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution."
