Trevor McCrisken Quoted in Independent Articles on Donald Trump

Dr Trevor McCrisken has been quoted in a number of articles recently discussing United States President, Donald Trump.

In an article on Friday February 3rd, titled "," Dr McCrisken is quoted saying:

“Some presidents are very hands-on and very keen to be present in the Situation Room as major operations are being carried out. Obama and Bush were fairly regular there.” He added: “My sense is that some presidents have been less enamoured with the idea of always being there.”

And in an article on Sunday February 5th, "," Dr McCrisken's quotes are used heavily.

Trevor McCrisken, associate professor of politics and international studies at the 91福利, said that if war broke out "we would be looking, I would imagine, at World War Three".

He said: "I really do think that would be the end of life as we know it on Earth.

"From a global strategic risk level I would say the last thing you want is war between the United States and any of the major powers because of the risks of escalation, obviously the potential for nuclear weapons to be used. The likelihood of nuclear exchange between the two principals involved is high."

But, he added, the "overwhelming view of most policy-makers in Washington since at least the late 1970s" favours a form of "cooperative, if competitive" relationship with China.
