CAMBRDIGE – A professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, who previously served as U.S. ambassador to NATO, has joined the growing chorus of American foreign policy and military leaders who have denounced remarks by Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump on the role of the United States in the defense of Europe.
Professor Nicholas Burns, who served as the U.S. ambassador to NATO from 2001-2005 and also served as George W. Bush's Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, last week joined a bipartisan group of thirty-six foreign policy leaders in expressing support for NATO and rebuking Trump's "reckless comments" about the 67-year-old military alliance.
