As wars and political disputes continue in various regions, many people are wondering what such scenarios could mean for everyday safety\u2014including within the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During an interview with&nbsp;<em>Time<\/em>,&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;acknowledged that conflicts between nations always carry risks.
