John Bolton Says Trump's Greenland Talk Is No Different Than These World Leaders' Language
HuffPost
Trump's former national security adviser said the president is hitting at "democratically elected leaders" who won't be "shoved around."
John Bolton, Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, called out the president Friday for singing a familiar tune with his talk of taking over Greenland.
“The language that he uses is completely substitutable for the language that [Russian President] Vladimir Putin uses about Ukraine, ‘We need it for our national security,’ or [Chinese President] Xi Jinping uses about Taiwan,” Bolton told MSNBC’s Chris Jansing.
“This is a free gift to these authoritarian leaders and their aggressive desires.”
Bolton, a fierce Trump critic since the president pushed him out of his first administration, reacted to Trump claiming that America needs the Arctic territory for “international security” in remarks at the White House on Friday.
“We have to have Greenland. It’s not a question of, ‘Do you think we can do without it? We can’t,’” said Trump, who claimed that Chinese and Russian ships were “all over the place” in Greenland’s waterways.
