Conflicts

A former U.S. Army general has said that World War III is "the future" as he discussed global stability following the U.S. presidential election results.

Donald Trump was elected last week and will return to the White House in January. His administration will face the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as rising tensions in the Middle East.

The former general, Jack Keane, suggested that the billionaire’s return to power could potentially lead to a global conflict.

The former general said: "This election has been a seminal event. And I'm convinced that President Trump knows that World War III is in the future."

"And we have got to take action to restore deterrence in dealing with our adversaries. And one of those is rebuilding a military - it has to be done. And we have to fix how the Pentagon does its business, or we're going to be throwing taxpayers' money away," he added.

The retired military official also urged the future president to support U.S. allies to bring an end to ongoing conflicts around the world.
