Richard Haas: Trump’s State Dept. Cuts Are ‘Bad for National Security’

EXCERPT:

GEIST: “Richard Haass, let me ask you about the State Department, 28 percent or so reduction there. What's the impact of that practically?”
HAASS: “I think it’s bad for American national security. I think virtually every past secretary of defense would say if had to give a choice between continuing the State Department accounts and putting more money into the Pentagon account, they would say we get more bang for our buck by what the State Department does around the world."
