John Bolton worked as a national security adviser in the first term of Donald Trump. However, the 76-year-old hardliner of foreign policy is one of the sharpest critics of the most powerful man in the White House. In a recent interview, Bolton warns Europeans of a “big mistake”.
Currently, Europe is talking about “too much about setting up its own European defense structures”. He referred to considerations of the presumably next German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and other European politicians for more independence in the field of defense because they no longer trusted the United States. “I am very worried when I hear that the European Union should be a new military alliance,” Bolton said in an interview with the German weekly newspaper “Die Zeit”.
“I had to pronounce him over and over”
“That is exactly what Trump should hear to take off the United States.” On the contrary, Europeans have to do everything they can not to give Trump from NATO. According to his own statements, Bolton had to “repeat” NATO output of the Republican in Trump’s first term. “When I was at the NATO in Brussels in 2018, it happened almost. Shortly before his speech, he called me to the table where all heads of state and the government sat and asked me:” John, should we do it? “
NATO -Exit has “arranged in his head”
This meant Trump NATO leakage. At that time he insisted on the president not to do this, “but he has put it in his head since then.” Since then, the plans have been further concretized. Bolton is convinced that the US will leave NATO under Trump, because it is clear to him: “Trump only understands dollars and cent, he does not understand the idea that we are all stronger via NATO.”
