Donald Trump threatens to repeat US errors on world stage

US domestic and economic policy are likely to change utterly now Donald Trump is in power, but his foreign policy remains a mystery, writes TP O’Mahony.

If Noam Chomsky was right when he said, after George W Bush invaded Iraq in 2003, that America was the greatest threat to world peace, then that threat may have just increased twenty-fold.

Donald Trump’s triumph creates a nightmarish scenario, one whose contours and repercussions we can only guess at. A loose cannon, a vain, unpredictable man, will soon occupy the Oval Office, pledging to “put America first” and “make America great again”.
