Clinton warns Trump will start war if elected president

US Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has warned about the consequences of her Republican rival Donald Trump winning the race for the White House.

Speaking during a campaign rally on Friday in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Clinton said Trump is likely to start a war if elected, possibly because he felt insulted by another nation.

“Imagine how easily it could be that Donald Trump will feel insulted and start a real war, not just a Twitter war at 3 o’clock in the morning,” she said.

Clinton also sought to cast doubt about her Republican rival’s business dealings abroad, saying Trump “owes hundreds of millions of dollars to foreign banks and other foreign entities he doesn’t tell us about.”

“Ask yourself: When he’s sitting across the table negotiating with people from those countries, is he going to put his own financial interests ahead of America’s interests?” Clinton asked voters.

Clinton cited the government's latest jobs report as evidence that Democratic President Barack Obama has improved the economy.

"I believe our economy is poised to really take off and thrive," she said. "When the middle class thrives, America thrives."

Both candidates made stops in Ohio and Pennsylvania on Friday, with Clinton adding a stop in Michigan and Trump adding one in New Hampshire.
