According to him, if Trump wins the election, “his political constraints will largely go away”.
In an interview with Rain TV, John Bolton, former National Security Advisor to the President of the United States, said that if Donald Trump is re-elected for a second term, the US may withdraw from NATO.
“I think it would be possible to do so in a second term. I think it would be a very big mistake for the United States. But many of Trump’s decisions about domestic security issues are not based on the criteria of the specific policy options from which he chooses. They are based on his personal judgments about what kind of domestic policy outcomes a decision will lead to”, – said John Bolton, – “I think it would be a mistake, a very big mistake for the West as a whole. So the actual collapse of NATO, which we can obviously only talk about hypothetically now, but if it happens, it will create a much more chaotic world than we have today.”
