US President Donald Trump has announced that he could impose economic sanctions to prevent a world war. The statement was made during a cabinet meeting at the White House on Tuesday.

"We have economic sanctions; I'm talking about economic because we're not going to get into a world war. I'll tell you what, in my opinion, if I didn't win this race, Ukraine could have ended up in a world war," Trump said at a Cabinet meeting.

"We're not going to end up in a world war anymore, but it would have ended up possibly in a world war," Trump added.

"It takes two people to tango and I say it all the time, you got to get them together. I get along with Zelenskyy now, but we have a much different relationship because now we're not paying any money to Ukraine. You know, I stopped that. We're paying money to ourselves. What's happening is NATO is buying all of the equipment and paying in full," he said.
