Throughout former President Joe Biden's tenure in office, and in large because of his misguided and weak foreign policies, multiple military conflicts flared up in various hot spots around the globe that provoked real fears of the U.S. becoming embroiled in another world war.

During a speech on Thursday, President Donald Trump asserted that a potential World War III was "not far away"  and would almost certainly have occurred if Biden and his administration were still in power, according to NDTV.

Conversely, Trump's strong foreign policies are designed and intended to avoid U.S. involvement in military conflicts and another world war by encouraging peace and economic prosperity for all.

Close to WWIII under Biden

On Thursday, President Trump traveled to Miami, Florida, to deliver what was slated to be a business-focused speech but ended up as wide-ranging remarks about a variety of different topics at the FII Priority Summit.

About midway through his speech, Trump asserted, "Around the world, I’m moving quickly to end wars, settle conflicts, and restore the planet to peace. I want peace, and I don’t want to see these -- everybody being killed."

"And you take a look at the death in the Middle East and the death that’s taking place between Russia and Ukraine that’s been going on, and we’re going to end it," he continued.

"There’s no profit for anyone in having World War III, and you’re not so far away from it," Trump warned. "I’ll tell you right now, you’re not so far away."

Referencing his predecessor Biden, the current president added, "If we would have had this administration for another year, you would have been in World War III, and now it’s not going to happen."

Wants a legacy as a "peacemaker"

President Trump went on to specifically mention in his speech some of the major ongoing conflicts and areas of unrest around the globe, particularly Israel vs. Hamas in Gaza and Russia vs. Ukraine, and touched briefly upon what he and his administration were doing to try and end the fighting.

"So, we hope to see a ceasefire soon and to reestablish stability in Europe and the Middle East," he said to great applause, and added just seconds later, "And as I’ve said before, it’s my hope that my greatest legacy will be as a peacemaker and a unifier. That would be a great legacy."

Just a few moments after that, as he began to wrap up his prepared remarks, Trump reiterated, "We’re going to be a peacemaker and a peacekeeper. We’re going to stop people from these stupid, never-ending wars."

"We’re not going to partake in them ourselves, but we’ll be stronger and more powerful than anybody by far," he added. "And if it ever came to war, there is nobody that will be able to come close to us, but we don’t think that’s going to ever happen."

Peace through strength and nuclear weapons

During a post-speech question-and-answer session, President Trump was asked if he'd prefer, as a historic leader, to be a ruler during times of peace or times of war, to which he replied, "I want to be, again, a peacemaker and I want to keep us out of war. But sometimes, to do that, you have to have a very strong country. You have to have a very strong military. And as I said, we have a much stronger military than anyone would know."

Trump more fully outlined his doctrine of "peace through strength" to discourage conflicts before shifting attention to the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and said, "We can’t let other countries get nuclear weapons -- not only Iran. Iran is a good example, and maybe the one that people think about, but we can’t let that happen. The power of weaponry today is so enormous that the world -- the world would disintegrate. So, we can’t let it happen."
