Trump: I doubt that China is more dangerous than Iran – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
According to Mehr News Agency, quoted by the Washington Examiner, former US President Donald Trump claims that the threat posed by Iran to Washington is greater than the threat posed by China.
Trump, who has launched his campaign for re-election to the White House, was speaking outside Washington D.C. ahead of a major speech at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Coalition conference. Referring to the tense relations with China and the ongoing war in Ukraine, the former US president specifically addressed Washington’s position in the most dangerous position and the possibility of the third world war.
In response to the question whether he believes that China will be the main enemy of America in such a war, he said that “not necessarily so” and added that “there are some rogue countries that create problems that may be bigger than China. »
Trump said: “A lot of people think so, but I’m not necessarily sure.” I always had a good relationship with China and had very good trade agreements with them, and farmers benefited a lot from these agreements.
Referring to the recent claims that Iran is capable of building a completely new nuclear weapon, the former US president claimed: China is a country that does not want to be blown up, but some countries do not care. They are fanatics. Now Iran is planning to have nuclear weapons, and when you ask if China is more dangerous than them, I say “I doubt it.”
He further claimed: When I left (the agreement), they did not know how to agree because we had put them in a position where they almost had to accept the agreement. We could have come to an agreement that would have been great for everyone, including them!
Trump added: Nuclear weapons are destructive and the word nuclear and nuclear weapons, which we hear a lot these days, should not be used. This is a word that should never be used, but we hear it all the time. I believe that we are in the most dangerous moment in the history of our country and the world is in the most dangerous situation. And in my opinion, the problem of all this is in the (American) leadership.
These claims of Trump were made at the same time as Bloomberg’s alleged report about Iran’s 84% enrichment was published. However, Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who traveled to Tehran, after meeting with the officials of the Islamic Republic and returning to Vienna, in response to a question about “Iran’s enrichment level and Tehran’s civilian nuclear program in connection with the enrichment of 70 Percent” said: They (Iran) at the level they announced; enriched We have no information to say that Iran is seeking to build an atomic bomb.
