Trump calls for the "total cessation of hostilities" immediately, at a time when the White House announced yesterday that the US does not support an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine under a China-proposed peace strategy.

Donald Trump, a top Republican in polling regarding the 2024 presidential nomination, said that “every day this proxy battle in Ukraine continues, we risk global war.”

The former Republican President has said several times that the Ukraine war would have never happened if he were president and warned that the conflict will eventually lead up to World War III. 

"Our objective is to immediately have a total cessation of hostilities <...>. This is the central issue. We need peace without delay," he wrote on his Truth Social.

This comes shortly after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken admitted, on Thursday, that the US government prefers sending more weapons over reconciliation-themed diplomatic contacts with Russia, TASS reported, which is needed to end the war -- thus adding more fuel to the fire.

Trump has been consistently skeptical about US support for Ukraine and has implied he could broker a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine. 

Speaking in Davenport, Iowa, former US President Donald Trump confidently told his supporters on Tuesday that he is the only president that could effectively prevent World War III from happening.

"I am the only candidate who could make this promise. I will prevent World War III because I really believe you're going to have World War Three," he said.

Trump has made similar promises in the past that there would be "no dead people" in Ukraine or on the US being closer to a nuclear war as long as US President Joe Biden is in office.
