US President Donald Trump said the United States possesses the strongest military globally. He said, “I rebuilt the military. We have the strongest military by far in the world. We make the best equipment, the best missiles, the best rockets, the best everything.”
Speaking at the American Business Forum in Miami, Florida on Wednesday, Trump highlighted the country’s nuclear capabilities, saying, “We redid our nuclear. We’re the number one nuclear power, which I hate to admit because it’s so horrible. It’s such a horrible situation if it ever has to be used.”
He compared the US arsenal with other global powers, adding, “Russia’s second, China’s a distant third, but they’ll catch us within four or five years. They want to catch us and they’ll be able to catch us.”
Trump also suggested the possibility of future arms control, saying, “We’re maybe working on a plan to denuclearize the three of us. We’ll see if that works.”
