'That's World War III': Ex-Trump official offers dire warning about his foreign policy

Former Trump official Alyssa Farah Griffin offered a dire warning about her one-time boss's desire to scrap America's commitment to NATO.

Appearing on CNN, Griffin argued that Trump repeatedly mused about ditching NATO during his first term, and she said that his determination to pull America out of the alliance is not mere rhetoric.

She also said the consequences of America leaving NATO for global security would be horrific.

"Just to speak in very specific terms, that's like World War III at that point," she said. "If you're talking about opening the door for Russia to go into Poland or anywhere else, that becomes our third world war."

Griffin also argued that the United States directly benefited from being a NATO member in the past, as American allies rallied to the country's defense after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington D.C.

"It's a collective defense organization, I would argue the most successful in history," she said. "And by the way, it [was] started to deter Russia. So now where we are is at a point where he's basically signaling, if Russia were to attack a NATO ally, like Poland... where we have U.S. troops stationed, he wouldn't necessarily come to their defense."
