(Bloomberg) -- The U.S.-led system of alliances built after World War II may not endure another term with Donald Trump as president, according to Michele Flournoy, a potential candidate for defense secretary if Democrat Joe Biden wins the November election.

“Unless we have a new leadership that our allies believe they can count on, I don’t believe our alliances can survive another four years of what they’ve just experienced,” Flournoy said in an interview on Tuesday. “That will leave the U.S. much more alone in the world and much less able to address shared interests, whether it’s climate change, nonproliferation, the next pandemic.”

Flournoy served as under secretary of defense for policy in the Obama administration, making her the most senior female Pentagon official in history at that point. In 2014 she ruled herself out as a candidate to replace Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, citing family needs at the time. Now, she is widely seen as a leading candidate for defense secretary if Biden defeats Trump.

Since taking office in 2017, Trump has challenged historic allies to accelerate defense spending, withdrawn from the Paris climate change agreement and the Iran nuclear deal and announced plans to leave the World Health Organization despite the continuing Covid-19 pandemic.
