We spoke to Elbridge Colby, who was deputy assistant secretary of defence under President Trump.
We began by asking if he were to become national security adviser, if Donald Trump won the election, what might he advise on the war in Gaza.I’d be honoured to serve if asked, in whatever capacity I could make a difference. But I think the perspective I hear a lot more from President Trump is working with our allies and partners. No matter really often in the case, for instance, of Islamic monarchies or Islamic-affiliated monarchies, no matter if their style of governance matches our own.
Looking at his running mate JD Vance as well, he has been quite vocal about withdrawing support to Ukraine. Is that inevitable now, if Donald Trump takes office?Again, I don’t speak for them, but a couple points. First, I certainly support the idea of making peace and a negotiated peace in the case of Ukraine. And you know who else does? Well, the Biden administration’s official policy is that the war will end through negotiation.
