US war hawk assertions Trump would pull out of NATO

According to John Bolton, if elected again, the former president will “almost certainly” leave the Western military alliance.

If Donald Trump wins the election in 2024, the strongest military powerhouse in the world is likely to leave NATO, according to former White House advisor John Bolton.

In an interview with US media site NewsNation on Thursday, the former national security adviser stated that the US would almost probably leave NATO under a second Trump administration. Bolton lost his position as the president’s top adviser on national security in September 2019 after failing to convince him to order wars to overthrow the governments of Iran and North Korea.

Bolton, a prominent war hawk who has also advocated overthrowing governments in Cuba, Libya, Venezuela, Syria, and Yemen, claimed that Trump’s handling of national security is “erratic” and unproductive. The former advisor claimed that Donald Trump “really doesn’t have a philosophy as we understand it in political terms.” “He doesn’t consider policy implications while making judgements, especially in the area of national security. Everything is related to how Donald Trump benefits from events.

Trump is currently the front-runner for the Republican Party’s candidature for president in 2024 despite having received three criminal indictments in the previous four months. In a hypothetical repeat of their 2020 contest, he and President Joe Biden are currently tied at 43% of the vote, according to a New York Times survey issued this week.

In response to the situation in Ukraine, Biden has led NATO and other US allies in sanctioning Russia and providing Kiev with arms valued at billions of dollars. Trump has promised to bring the Russian and Ukrainian leaders to the negotiating table in order to stop the violence in 24 hours if re-elected.

Bolton referred to Trump’s deal with the Taliban to remove American troops from Afghanistan as a “disastrous mistake for America and for national security in the world.” He also criticised the president at the time for failing to “squeeze the Iranians” after pulling out of the Iran nuclear agreement in 2018. “He did not effectively address the Iranian threat of terrorism.”
