Jeremy Bash: The G7 Was an Epic Foreign Policy Fail for Trump

EXCERPT:

BASH: “Yeah, Canada, the G-7 was an epic foreign policy fail. I mean, It was an easy layup missed by the United States. And to go back to something, Joe, that you said earlier, this was really Vladimir Putin’s playbook. I mean, not only would he want to be in the G-7 or G-8, but actually what he wants more than that is to fracture the west. And that’s exactly the outcome of the G-7. And so I think the United States goes into this summit with North Korea with our traditional alliances fractured. And as noted earlier, if we’re going to assure that American national security interests are protected in the Asia-Pacific region and around the world, we’re going to need allies.”
