Former President Donald Trump recently insisted that Russia’s unprovoked invasion into Ukraine would not happen had he won a second term. However, according to Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton, the former president would not be able to negotiate peace between Russia and Ukraine.
Speaking with the Palm Beach Post, Bolton said that the former president would not succeed in peace deals between Ukraine and Russia, as Trump continues to blast his successor Joe Biden’s efforts in rallying NATO and the West against Russia. Bolton noted that Trump’s withholding of congressionally-approved aid to Ukraine back in 2019 in exchange for information on Biden worsened the existing tensions between the two countries.
Bolton said that a peace-negotiating trip to Russia by Trump, had he won another term as president, would not work.
“He’s not capable of it,” said Bolton, who became a key figure in Trump’s first impeachment. “This would require thinking through a policy and considering the pluses and minuses, the risks and costs involved. That’s just not what he does.”
“The urgency of that particular $250 million was that it was appropriated money that under the federal government’s bizarre budget procedures would have expired on September 30, 2019,” said Bolton, who later touched on whether or not he thinks the now-former president really believed that Biden and his son Hunter were involved in criminal wrongdoing that led to the infamous phone call that led to his first impeachment.
Bolton also noted that Trump sought to criticize the NATO alliance, noting that the former president considered withdrawing the US from NATO.
Meanwhile, the former president and his son Donald Trump Jr. are set to sit in for a deposition in the civil fraud lawsuit, according to Law & Crime. The depositions are part of a class-action lawsuit against the Trump family for allegedly promoting a pyramid scheme called the “American Communications Network,” with the victims getting conned into shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This latest suit comes as the former president attempted to file a lawsuit against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, accusing his 2016 presidential rival of racketeering. Experts have dismissed the lawsuit as an “unbelievable waste of time.”
