Trump shows how racism, austerity, climate and war interlink, CND says

DONALD TRUMP shows how war, racism, austerity, climate breakdown and nuclear annihilation are interlinked, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) has argued.

New CND general secretary Sophie Bolt warned that the US president-elect’s open support for annexation of the West Bank has emboldened Israel’s “genocidal expansionism” and made an all-out war with Iran more likely.

Despite his claim that he can end the Ukraine war in 24 hours, there is “absolutely no evidence” to suggest he will abandon Nato, Ms Bolt wrote her first blog post as CND general secretary on Wednesday.
