US President Donald Trump has issued a chilling warning about what he considers to be the 'greatest threat to humanity'.

The businessman said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday (9 March) that we shouldn't be prioritising climate change as 'the biggest existential threat'.

He told the broadcaster that 'the level of destruction' of nuclear weapons 'is beyond anything you can imagine'.

Trump, 78, who is in charge of America's 5,044 warheads, which is only second to Russia's 5,500, said: "We spend a lot of money of nuclear weapons - the level of destruction is beyond anything you can imagine.

"It's just bad that you have to spend all this money on something that if it's used, it's probably the end of the world."

The Republican insisted that he disagreed with former President Joe Biden on his alleged prioritisation of global warming being a bigger concern.

"The greatest is sitting on shelves in various countries called 'nuclear weapons' that are big monsters that can blow your heads off for miles and miles and miles," he added.

Trump also said that he sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, with the hopes of negotiating a new deal with Tehran to restrain its advancing nuclear programme.

He wants to replace their plan with the one he withdrew America from during his first term in office.

"I’ve written them a letter saying, ‘I hope you’re going to negotiate because if we have to go in militarily, it’s going to be a terrible thing,’" Trump said.

"I would rather negotiate a deal. I’m not sure that everybody agrees with me, but we can make a deal that would be just as good as if you won militarily.

"But the time is happening now. The time is coming up. Something’s going to happen one way or the other.

"I hope you’re going to negotiate because it’s going to be a lot better for Iran and I think they want to get that letter.

"The other alternative is we have to do something because you can’t let them have a nuclear weapon."

This comes after Trump said last month that he wants to talk to China and Russia about de-escalating their nuclear weapons programme.

"There's no reason for us to be building brand new nuclear weapons. We already have so many," he explained.

"You could destroy the world 50 times over, 100 times over. And here we are building new nuclear weapons, and they're building nuclear weapons.

"We're all spending a lot of money that we could be spending on other things that are actually, hopefully, much more productive."
