Trump Boasts of U.S. Power: ‘Without America, the World Would Die’

U.S. President Donald Trump has once again made bold assertions about America’s role in global affairs, declaring that “without the United States, everything in the world would die.” The statement came during a press interaction at the Oval Office on Tuesday, where Trump underscored what he described as the unmatched economic and geopolitical influence of the United States.

Highlighting his first term in office, Trump pointed to what he called rapid economic expansion under his leadership. “I made it really big in the first four years, then it started to degenerate with what this Biden administration did,” he said, drawing sharp contrasts between his policies and those of his predecessor.

The President also credited tariffs as a driving force behind America’s financial resilience. “The money coming in is so big because of tariffs and other things—but mainly because of tariffs,” Trump emphasized, framing trade duties as a cornerstone of his economic strategy.

Trump’s remarks reflect his broader narrative of American exceptionalism and his belief that the nation remains indispensable to global stability. With the U.S. election season intensifying, his comments are likely to fuel fresh debate over his economic policies and foreign relations approach.
