Former US secretary of state Madeleine Albright has warned Donald Trump against American isolationism, telling him after his stunning presidential election victory that national security “cannot be a zero-sum activity” and the US must play its part in the Nato alliance. We are responsible for each other, a two-way street,” Albright told the Guardian in an interview on Wednesday. Albright, who campaigned vigorously for Clinton, also spoke of her fears that Trump would put decades of cultural progress towards greater equality in American society into reverse. She was a remarkable secretary of state and she would have been a remarkable president, better prepared than anybody, ever,” Albright said. She predicted a peaceful transfer of power, but wondered obliquely if Trump voters might end up having second thoughts.
