Donald Trump’s AWFUL Claim! Hillary Clinton’s Syria plan would start World War Three: Wednesday morning US election briefing
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said his opponent World War Three would be triggered by Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy plan in Syria.
He also said the US should focus on conquering so called Islamic State (IS) rather than removing Syria’s president.
Mrs Clinton has suggested a no-fly zone over Syria. The top US military leader has said that could spell conflict with Russian jets in the region.
The Clinton campaign accused Mr Trump of “playing to Americans’ fears”.
Republicans were attacked by Mr Trump .
“If we had party unity, we could not lose this election to Hillary Clinton,” he told Reuters news agency at Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami, Florida.
The Republican standard-bearer hit an apocalyptic tone when criticising his Democratic opponent’s strategy to control Syrian air space.
“You are not fighting Syria any more, you’re fighting Syria, Russia and Iran, all right?
“Russia is a nuclear country, but a nation where the nukes work in contrast to other states that discuss.”
Mr Trump suggested there should be a refocus from the long-held US position of trying to remove Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad, saying: “What we should do is focus on IS. We shouldn’t be focusing on Syria.”
He also proposed Mrs Clinton would not be able to speak after her sharp criticism of him with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mr Trump questioned “how she actually is going to return and negotiate with this guy who she has got to be so bad” if she’s elected president on 8 November.
The Clinton campaign ignored the criticism and Democratic national security experts have denounced Mr
Trump as unfit to be commander in chief.
“Once again, he could be parroting Putin’s talking points and playing to Americans’ fears, all while refusing to lay out any plans of his own for getting the better of ISIS or alleviating humanitarian suffering in Syria,” Clinton spokesman Jesse Lehrich said in a statement.
