23 Nov 2016: BBC: Gen David Petraeus opens door to Trump administration
General David Petraeus, one of the United States’ most prominent military officers, has indicated he would be willing to serve in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration if asked.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, he said: “The only response can be: ‘yes, Mr President’.”...
General Petraeus was indirectly critical of some of Donald Trump’s rhetoric during the presidential election campaign, describing the president elect’s anti-Muslim comments as toxic.
However, he said he had heard good things from those who have been speaking with Mr Trump since the election result...
“It’s interesting that those who have been talking to him have said, you know, he’s very personable, very hospitable, very gracious guy, full of questions and dialogue,” he said.
He also suggested that Mr Trump could forge closer ties with Russia, comparing his political position to that of President Nixon’s overtures to China in the 1970s.
“Only Nixon could have gone to China. Anyone else would have been criticised from the right,” he said.
“I think that the current president would have been criticised from the right had he tried some of the kinds of outreach that, in fact, President-elect Trump may pursue.”
But he warned that any such outreach should be attempted “with your eyes wide open”.
