John R. Bolton
Former National Security Adviser John Bolton said last week that personal and financial incentives are influencing President Donald Trump‘s foreign policy decisions especially on Turkey.
The former White House official criticized Trump’s reluctance to impose economic sanctions on Turkey after the President Recep Tayyip Erdogan purchased a Russian missile-defense system. Congress had given the measure bipartisan support.
Last month, Trump withdrew U.S. troops from northeast Syria, which prompted Turkish forces to launch an attack on the Kurds. The Kurdish militia is an American ally. Although Trump sent Erdogan a letter instructing him not to launch the attacks, Erdogan ignored it and started them anyway.
