Donald Trump warned “it’s going to be a bloodbath” for America if he is not elected in the upcoming presidential election.

The former US president issued his warning while addressing supporters at a Buckeye Values PAC Rally in Dayton, Ohio on Saturday (16 March).

Wearing a red cap with the slogan “Make America Great Again”, Trump said: “Now, if I don’t get elected it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.”

The 77-year-old is in the state to help boost the campaign of car dealership owner Bernie Moreno in Ohio's US Senate primary which is happening on Tuesday (19 March).

Finland proposes new law to stem migration from Russia
HELSINKI (Reuters) -Finland's government proposed emergency legislation on Tuesday to block asylum seekers entering across its vast and often snow-bound border with Russia which it believes Moscow is promoting due to political antagonism since the Ukraine war. Finland shut the 1,340 km (830 mile) frontier last year after increased arrivals from countries including Syria and Somalia soon after Helsinki joined transatlantic alliance NATO that backs Ukraine against President Vladimir Putin's army. Only a few dozen migrants have arrived from Russia through the wilderness this year since Finland shut its land crossings, compared to 1,300 last year, Border Guard data showed.
