Trump-Putin Standoff: Medvedev's WWIII Warning Sparks Global Alarm

Tensions between the United States and Russia escalated sharply following a public statement by former President Donald Trump. Trump accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of "playing with fire," referring to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This prompted a strong reaction from Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, who alluded to the possibility of World War III. Adding fuel to the fire, Keith Kellogg, Trump's representative during Ukraine peace negotiations, described Medvedev's statement as reckless and irresponsible. The exchange highlights the fragility of current diplomatic efforts and underscores the serious consequences of escalating rhetoric between nuclear powers. The situation is being closely monitored by the international community.
