US President-elect Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr, has claimed that recent aid to Ukraine by the Biden administration is an attempt to start “World War III”. This is ahead of Trump’s return to the White House for his second term. Donald Trump Jr’s comments come after President Joe Biden’s decision to authorise the Ukrainian military to use American-supplied long-range missiles to target Russia.

Biden’s term ends on January 20, the same day President-elect Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony is scheduled.

This move by the Biden administration has raised concerns about escalating tensions between the US and Russia. However, Trump claims he could end the conflict.

Trump Jr. claimed in a tweet that the “military-industrial complex” is trying to create chaos in the ongoing war.

“The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives. Gotta lock in those $Trillions. Life be damned!!! Imbeciles!” he wrote on X.

This comes after President Biden recently approved Ukraine’s use of a US-made long range missile, also known as the Army Tactical Missile System or ATACMS, in the Kursk region, which lies on the north-east border between Russia and Ukraine.
