The U.S. should consider economic sanctions on Russia as part of a strong U.S. response, if it is true that Moscow offered bounty payments to Taliban forces for killing Americans in Afghanistan, John Bolton said
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton said on Tuesday the United States should consider economic sanctions on Russia as part of a strong U.S. response if it is true that Moscow offered bounty payments to Taliban forces for killing Americans in Afghanistan.
Bolton declined to confirm or deny reports in the New York Times and Washington Post of U.S. intelligence about the bounties. Trump denied on Monday having been briefed on the effort, which the reports said may have led to the deaths of U.S. service personnel. Bolton, who is sharply critical of Trump in the book, said Trump has gone along with a tougher policy on Russia - “grumbled and complained about it the whole way” - while aspiring to warm relations with Putin.
Bolton said Trump’s heart is not in getting tougher on China because “he’s worried about irritating his good friend,” Chinese President Xi Jingping.
