Donald Trump "doesn't make plans" and that will be no different as he tries to negotiate peace in Ukraine, his former national security adviser John Bolton has said.
"What we are seeing now is that Vladimir Putin is maneuvering to get to the point where he will have a 'head-to-head' phone conversation with Trump," he said, foreign media reported.
Asked if he thinks the Russian president is manipulating Trump, Bolton said: "I think so."
"If you look at the American stance on the war, the only regret in the Kremlin is that they didn't ask for more," he said further.
Bolton added that they are leaving Volodymyr Zelensky in a "difficult position" for the US to negotiate with him and then negotiate separately with Russia, writes A2 CNN.
But asked if Trump could be hiding a plan that we are all unaware of as he tries to secure peace, Bolton said: "No, of course not."
"He doesn't make plans. He thinks that relations between states are the true equivalent of personal relations between leaders," Bolton added.
Bolton added that while Trump is looking forward to his call with Putin, he explained that "that's not Putin's view" and that the Russian president sees Trump as a "lightweight." (A2 Televizion)
