Cory Booker: Trump ‘Really Missed a Lot of Opportunities’ to Add to Our Security on Foreign Trip

‘He really missed a lot of opportunities to add to the security or add to the important urgency we have in meeting Russian aggression’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BOOKER: "Well, I have a lot of concerns that his whole trip unfortunately wasn’t confronting a lot of the core issues that are concerned. Even in the Middle East. A lot of human rights concerns and for him, not to talk openly and candidly really breaking from traditions to go back from Reagan to his predecessor, Barack Obama, not talking about the real human rights concerns in Saudi Arabia. It’s like reducing America from its light and hope that it presents to the world to just a utilitarian kind of transactional relationship and here in Europe, there are a lot of folks looking to hear things from him. Whether it’s his commitment to article 5 of our treaty with nato or even just talking to larger issues of climate change. He really missed a lot of opportunities to add to the security or add to the important urgency we have in meeting Russian aggression. And to me, it’s starting in a very bad pattern for this president."
