This week, US Ambassador John Bolton joins Latika Takes: The Podcast to discuss US national security and global security under the second Trump Administration.
Ambassador Bolton served as one of Donald Trump’s national security advisers in the US President’s first term. His memoir of that chaotic time, The Room Where It Happened, details Trump’s incoherent approach to foreign policy and China.
Ambassador Bolton discusses how the Quad could be expanded to include South Korea, what US isolationism beyond Trump means for Taiwan and the need to clean up the infiltration of Russian narratives from the Republican party and MAGA movement.
Ambassador Bolton, a major critic of Trump’s, is being pursued in the courts by the Trump Administration, and also discusses why he’s choosing to keep talking, instead of falling silent like so many of Trump’s critics on the right of US politics.
