US president Donald Trump has admitted he believes that nuclear weapons are the greatest threat to humanity, starkly warning that the use of 'monster' warheads may 'end the world'.
Trump, who is in charge of the second-largest nuclear stockpile in the world, made the shock statement in an interview with Fox News' Sunday Morning Features, telling the broadcaster: 'The level of destruction is beyond anything you can imagine.'
He said: 'We spend a lot of money of nuclear weapons - the level of destruction is beyond anything you can imagine.
'It's just bad that you have to spend all this money on something that if it's used, it's probably the end of the world.'
The Republican added that the threat of climate change was nothing compared to the risks posed by nuclear weapons, claiming that a nuclear war 'could happen tomorrow.'
Trump explained: 'I watched Biden for years say the existential threat is from the climate. I said "no".
