In an interview with Time magazine, President-elect Donald Trump declined to rule out the possibility of a war with Iran during his second term, stating, “anything can happen” due to the volatile situation in the Middle East. Trump also criticized the Biden administration's decision to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-made long-range missiles to strike Russian territory, calling it 'crazy' and accusing the current administration of escalating the conflict. He suggested that he would leverage U.S. support for Ukraine to negotiate peace with Russia, emphasizing that ending the war would benefit both parties. Trump's comments were made in the context of his being named Time's Person of the Year for 2024.
