An overwhelming majority of Americans are worried that the United States will become engaged in a major war in the next four years during the presidency of Donald Trump, according to a new poll, according to Press T.V.
According to the survey, released on Tuesday by NBC News/SurveyMonkey, 76 percent of people in the US said they were worried about military conflict, an increase on 10 points since February.
The poll found that 41 percent believe that North Korea currently poses the “greatest immediate danger” to the United States, emerging as a more urgent concern than ISIL or Russia, which stood at 28 percent and 18 percent respectively.
Three in 5 Americans, or 59 percent, say they currently feel less safe from North Korea compared to how they felt last year, the survey found. The same percentage also said the United States should mostly use diplomacy over military force.
Tensions between the US and North Korea have rapidly escalated since Trump took office in January over North Korea conducting of multiple missile tests.
