Lord Richards said there was no reason to think Trump would cause chaos adding the biggest threat came from such groups as ISIS
Lord Richards said he believes Trump 'would reinvigorate big power relationships' Former Chief of the Defence Staff Lord Richards said he believes controversial Republican Donald Trump could make the world a safer place if elected.
The ex-head of the British Army said the billionaire’s approach to foreign policy could “reinvigorate big power relationships” and in the process “might make the world ironically safer”.
Lord Richards of Herstmonceux, the chief of defence staff between 2010 and 2013, said: “There is a case for saying that big power politics is what we’re missing.
“If countries and states could coalesce better to deal with these people – and I think Trump’s instinct is to go down that route – then I think there's the case for saying that the world certainly won’t be any less safe.
“It’s that lack of understanding and empathy with each other as big power players that is a risk to us all at the moment.
“Therefore I think he would reinvigorate big power relationships, which might make the world ironically safer.”
Richards, who is now a peer in the House of Lords, said there was no reason to think Trump would cause chaos adding the biggest threat came from such groups as ISIS.
Speaking to The House magazine, he added: “It’s non-state actors like Isis that are the biggest threat to our security."
While on the campaign trail Trump has said he would “make a friend” of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
