John Bolton, the US ambassador to the United Nations who served as Trump's national security adviser from April 2018 to September 2019, has warned of the possibility of a major international crisis, which he says is growing significantly in his second term. of Donald Trump, due to his "inability to focus" on foreign policy formation.
According to foreign media, drawing on his experience so far as Trump's national security adviser, Bolton revealed his concerns about the President-elect's next term, focusing on his weaknesses and approach to foreign policy.
John Bolton noted that Trump's decision-making is characterized by personal relationships and spur-of-the-moment reactions rather than a deep understanding of national interests and strategy. "There is no philosophy, no national security strategy. His decisions are like an archipelago of points that are not connected to each other," he said characteristically, the Guardian reports.
Bolton argued that Trump's advisers were trying to craft a coherent policy through the right individual decisions, but the president himself lacked the ability to see the bigger picture.
"He does not understand the data or consider the information given to him in the daily national security conferences important. He believes he can solve any problem through personal relationships and agreements, which is dangerous," he said.
Bolton expresses concern about Trump's approach to authoritarian leaders such as Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un and Xi Jinping.
"Trump thinks he's on friendly terms with Putin, but he doesn't understand that Putin sees him as easy prey. This is a serious lack of situational awareness," he said.
The former adviser said Trump admires authoritarian leaders because they don't face the constraints imposed by constitutional systems of government.
“He wants to be a 'big man' like them. He wants to have the freedom to make decisions without being restricted by parliaments or courts," he said. (A2 Televizion)
