In an exclusive interview with ABC’s Martha Raddatz, former national security adviser John Bolton claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin can control Donald Trump.
In one part of the interview, Bolton claimed that Putin believes he can “play Trump like a fiddle.” He went on to call Putin “smart” and “tough,” and said that he doesn’t see Trump as “a serious adversary.”
When it comes to Trump as a businessman vs. Trump as a business dealmaker is far from creating an arms deal, according to Bolton.
“Dealing with arms limitation treaties on strategic weapons, dealing in many, many other international security issues, are things far removed from his life experience,” said Bolton.
