Cory Booker: Trump’s ‘Been Much More About Bluster and Being Braggadocious as Opposed to Substantive Strategy’ on N. Korea

RUSH EXCERPT:

BOOKER: “This is the problem. We have a president that continues to mislead the American people. You remember his deplorable tweet came out and said, no, there’s no need to worry about the nuclear threat from north Korea anymore. He’s been much more about bluster and being braggadocious as opposed to substantive strategy and making sure we’re checking a north Korean dictator. Of course I’ll meet with our enemies, but under the right conditions, using every leverage I have, articulating a strategy for getting there. He eve seen him contradict military leaders who have to go in and clean up. We have no strategy when it comes to foreign policy. What’s eroding is not only our position in the world, but our alliances themselves and our allies as I travel internationally, they’re beginning to question our commitment to fundamental democratic values when you have a president that seems to buddy up with chairman Kim or Duarte or Putin, more than he is with may and Merkel and the people that are our real allies that can work with us to holding not just Russia accountable, China accountable. These are critical allies we need in our trade deals, what we’ll need when we deal with global climate change. I’ve heard this on both sides of the aisle in the Senate foreign relations committee, to have a president who has been lacking strategy, unpredictable, undermining his diplomacy cores and even undermining his generals when it comes to things like Syria policy, where he tweets out where he said we’re pulling out of Syria imminently.”
