WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said during a town hall event in the state of Wisconsin that the biggest challenge the United States and the international community face is preventing a nuclear war in the near future.
"In my opinion, the biggest problem our country has, the biggest problem the world has, is nuclear weapons," Trump said on Thursday. "They are a destructive force, the likes of which nobody has ever seen before, and we have to make sure they're never used."
Trump said he'd be able to help maintain stability around the world by keeping lines of communication open, adding "I could do it with telephone calls, by being smart."
