Former US President Donald Trump has claimed that the US, China, and Russia were on the verge of an agreement to denuclearise during his administration. Speaking on the Flagrant podcast, Trump said that nuclear weapons , not climate change, represent the most major threat to the world today.
“We were close to a deal for getting rid of nuclear weapons. It would be so good for all countries,” Trump said. He said that the discussions included Russia, China, and eventually all nuclear-capable nations. “We were going to get totally denuclearised because it’s too powerful, too much,” he added.
While talking about nuclear weapons, Trump said that his knowledge comes from his uncle, Dr. John Trump who he claimed was the longest serving professor at MIT. “You know, I had an uncle. He’s the longest-serving professor, Doctor John Trump, in the history of MIT,” Trump said. He claimed to share the same “smart genes” as his uncle, adding, “We have genes, we’re smart people.”
This is not the first time that Trump has expressed his concern over the growing nuclear capabilities of various nations. While speaking at a town hall in Michigan in September, Trump warned that the world is closer to World War III now than at any time in the past, and he argued that under his leadership, the issue of nuclear weapons had been better managed.
“Everyone’s talking about global warming, but the biggest threat we have is nuclear war,” Trump stated. He criticised the focus on climate change, dismissing it as less significant compared to the risks posed by nuclear proliferation. “If I have a little property on the ocean, I’ll have a little bit more. But the fact is, nuclear weapons are the real problem.”
Trump also pointed out that five countries currently possess significant nuclear power, and he predicted that more would soon join the ranks. He said, “We shouldn’t let there be more,” referencing his administration’s efforts to bring key powers to the table to discuss denuclearisation .
He also took a swipe at current President Joe Biden, suggesting that under the current administration, respect from other nations has diminished. “Now other countries are using that word [nuclear] against us because they have no respect for our leadership,” Trump argued.

He goes on to explain that it was a trilateral agreement between the US Russia & China. This would've been Nobel Prize worthy and it's the first I've heard of it pic.twitter.com/emXrH0R9fQ
