Najam in Boston Herald on Trump’s ‘Fire and Fury’ Remark
Adil Najam, Dean of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently interviewed on President Donald Trump’s recent comments that North Korea would see “fire and fury like the world has never seen” if they threaten the United States or its allies with a military strike.
Najam was quoted in an August 9, 2017 article in The Boston Herald entitled “Donald Trump Vows ‘Fire and Fury’ as War of Words Escalate.”
From the text of the article:
Adil Najam, the dean of the Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, told the Herald he doesn’t think Trump’s remarks will persuade North Korea to reverse course on its nuclear program, adding that the regime will likely be satisfied that it got under the president’s skin.
“This is the kind of reaction they would be looking for,” said Najam. “They’re kind of poking at the president, trying to instigate him. So every time there is a comment that makes it seem like he is losing his cool, I suspect there is a smirk on the North Koreans’ face.”
Adil Najam is the Inaugural Dean of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies and was a former Vice Chancellor of the Lahore University of Management Sciences in Pakistan.
