Pres. Trump's former NSA John Bolton never directly mentioned his old boss in his first public remarks since departing the White House—but he did make clear he does not believe in the president's North Korea strategy.
President Donald Trump's former National Security Adviser John Bolton never directly mentioned his old boss Monday in his first public remarks since departing the White House, but the fierce Republican firebrand made clear he does not believe in the president's North Korea strategy.
"These are questions that need to focus our attention, not, 'Can we get another summit with Kim Jong Un or what the state of staff-level negotiations are to achieve a commitment from North Korea it will never honor," Bolton said. Bolton warned there is a"world out there that's ready to fall sucker to that kind of argument" of a partial or interim deal -- something Trump may be now considering to get talks back on track. After he and Kim met at the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea in June -- a meeting which Bolton did not attend -- the two sides said they agreed to working-level talks resuming in July.
