Donald Trump's 'destabilising' rhetoric risks causing a global scramble to develop nuclear weapons, according to defence expert Patrick Turner. Turner argues that if the US continues to withdraw from crucial alliances, not only could America's role be diminished, but smaller nations may be incentivized to develop their own nuclear arsenals. He warns that the damage caused by the administration's rhetoric could be long-lasting and lead to a rush from different countries to develop nuclear weapons. Turner also acknowledges that the Biden administration has done harm to America's credibility, presenting an opportunity for Trump and his team to claim a big victory for global peace.
