We’re number one nuclear power in the world – Trump boasts amid tension in Nigeria
President Donald Trump on Wednesday boasted that the United States has the best military equipment in the world.
Trump, who spoke at the American Business Forum, said he rebuilt the American military with the best missiles, rockets and other dangerous weapons.
According to Trump, the United States is the number one nuclear power followed by Russia and China.
He said, “I rebuilt the military, we have the best military in the world, we make the best equipment, the best missiles, rockets and the best everything.
“We’re the number one nuclear power, which I hate to admit because it’s so horrible. Russia is second. China is a distant third, but they will catch us within four or five years… And we’re maybe working on a plan to denuclearize the three of us.”
His remark is coming amid fear of possible US military action in Nigeria following alleged Christian genocide in the most populous black nation.
Trump, who designated Nigeria as Country of Particular Concerns on Friday, had also threatened that the US military may strike in Nigeria to take out the perpetrators of alleged Christian persecution if the Nigerian government fails to stop the terrorists.
