Donald Trump wrongly claims US is ‘bigger nuclear power’ than Russia
Donald Trump has claimed the US is a “bigger nuclear power” than Russia.
Speaking on an episode of Real America, the former US president hit out at Joe Biden for being “pushed around” by Vladimir Putin.
“He [Putin] says ‘don’t get involved, don’t get near the fly zone, we’re nuclear power - don’t get near us, we’re a nuclear power,’” Mr Trump said.
“Well, we’re a nuclear power, too - we’re a bigger nuclear power,” he added.
The US possesses an estimated 5,428 nuclear weapons, several hundred fewer than the total number of Russia’s warheads.
