US President Donald Trump has made several statements regarding his stance on starting new wars, contradicting his previous claims of not wanting to initiate any conflicts.

In a recent interview with NBC News, Trump stated that he never promised not to start a new war. However, in the same interview, he also repeatedly mentioned that he did not want to start any new wars.

Trump has defended his administration’s decision to establish a compensation fund for military personnel and their families, which some have linked to an increased risk of war with Iran. In response to criticism about his stance on Iran, Trump described the ongoing tensions in the region as a “military exercise.”

When asked about his previous claims of not wanting to start any new wars, Trump denied making such promises. He stated that he had only expressed a desire not to engage in new conflicts.

The comments from Trump have sparked debate and raised questions about his commitment to avoiding war.
