In his first public remarks since his contentious departure from the White House, fmr. national security adviser John Bolton argued that the president’s approach to North Korea and Iran are largely wrongheaded.
But he showed a willingness to criticize the president that other top national security officials who’ve left the administration have largely avoided. And when the moderator of the event suggested Bolton was restricted on talking about his time in the Trump administration, Bolton interjected to make clear that any such restriction is “self-imposed.”to speak in “unvarnished terms.
By July, when Bolton was arguing against Trump calling Zelenskiy, his influence on the president had weakened amid growing tensions over policies like Iran and North Korea.While they weren’t on the Zelenskiy phone call, typically such senior officials as the national security adviser and vice president would later be read in on the contents of the discussion with a world leader if they weren’t listening in real time.
“Under current circumstances he will never give up the nuclear weapons voluntarily,” he said during an appearance at a forum on U.S.-Korea policy at the Washington-based think tank Center for Strategic International Studies.He was critical of dismissing North Korea’s recent missile tests as insignificant, as Trump has, saying it sends the message to other countries that it’s permissible to violate sanctions.
