John Bolton: Trump ‘doesn’t understand international politics’ | LBC

Donald Trump’s special envoy has dismissed Sir Keir Starmer’s peace plan for Ukraine as "a posture and a pose." Steve Witkoff, who met with Vladimir Putin ten days ago, accused the Prime Minister and other European leaders of thinking "we have all got to be like Winston Churchill." “I don’t regard Putin as a bad guy, he’s super smart,” Witkoff told pro-Trump former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. During their meeting Putin had been “gracious” and “straight up with him,” he added. He also revealed Putin had commissioned a portrait of Donald Trump as a gift, a move that the 47th president was “clearly touched by.” Former US Ambassador to the United Nations and Trump adviser John Bolton joined Tom Swarbrick to take questions from LBC listeners on a range of topics about the President's strategy.
