US President Donald Trump has downplayed the threat of climate change – and said ‘monster nukes’ from the US and Russia pose the biggest threat to armageddon. In an interview with Fox News, Trump spoke of the dangers of nuclear stockpiles around the world and lamented the huge amount of money spent on maintaining the ‘big monsters’ that could cause the end of the world.

President Trump suggested that Ukraine might not be able to survive against Russia even if the US forged ahead with full-blown support for its fight. Trump’s remarks came while defending his decision to draw down support to Ukraine in the face of Polish President Andrzej Duda’s and others’ concerns that Europe lacks the might to prop up Kyiv without the US.
