    Senate panel debates US President Donald Trump’s nuclear authority

    FOR the first time in 40 years, a US President’s power to launch a nuclear attack may be limited after Donald Trump was labelled “unstable”.

    *** The closely watched discussion, led by a prominent Republican Trump critic, addressed a hypothetical presidential decision to launch a nuclear first strike against a US adversary.

    “Let’s just recognise the exceptional nature of this moment,” Senate Democrat Chris Murphy said during the hearing of the chamber’s Foreign Relations Committee.

    “We are concerned that the president of the United States is so unstable, is so volatile, has a decision-making process that is so quixotic, that he might order a nuclear weapon strike that is widely out of step with US national security interests,” he added.
