He blasted Trump’s abrupt reversal after the meeting — backing off new sanctions on Moscow and scrapping demands for a ceasefire in favor of a "final agreement" — as proof of chaotic diplomacy.
The former U.N. ambassador also pointed to contradictions inside the administration, noting Trump told Ukraine it must strike inside Russia even as the Pentagon blocked Kyiv from doing so. The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday the Pentagon had been blocking long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMs, from reaching Ukraine.
Meanwhile, allies such as India, Bolton wrote, were left "hanging out to dry" under new 50% U.S. tariffs while Russia and China skated free.
