(MENAFN) Republican US Senator Bob Corker told a leading American daily on Sunday that the threats President Donald Trump has made to other nations could put the US "on the path to World War III."
Corker, an influential voice on US foreign policy, made this grim forecast in an interview, The newspaper called it "an extraordinary rebuke of a president of his own party."
Donald Trump had earlier posted a series of tweets in which he claimed Corker had "begged" him to endorse his re-election bid in the US state of Tennessee (which he represents as a Senator), and that he left the race when the President refused.
He said Corker wanted to be Secretary of State, and accused the senator of being responsible for "the horrendous Iran Deal" - a 2015 agreement that limited Tehran's nuclear program, which Trump has now threatened to decertify.
