Jim Walsh, an international security and research associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said he’s “seen nothing” suggesting Trump would use nuclear weapons against America’s European allies.
“What Trump may be trying to say is actually consistent with traditional U.S. doctrine, that is, we are prepared to use (nuclear weapons) to counter a Russian/Soviet invasion of Western Europe with conventional forces,” Walsh, who is not a fan of Trump, said. “That’s a NATO commitment.”
