Putin Will ‘Take Advantage’ Of Trump Meeting: Fmr. Nat'l. Security Adviser John Bolton | NEWSNATION

Former national security adviser John Bolton raised his eyebrows at the prospect of a meeting between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, casting doubt at the chance of a ceasefire.

“I think Putin’s going to try to take advantage of this one-on-one summit with Trump to advance his agenda, to put out a Russian peace plan, or ceasefire plan, in order to have Trump take it to [Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky] and see if Zelensky rejects it,” Bolton said in an appearance on NewsNation’s “On Balance.”

“It’s posturing to see who can look like they’re more interested in peace,” he told host Leland Vittert. “I still think the parties are a long way apart.”
