John Bolton believes that former President Donald Trump would have dissolved the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) during his second term.

The former United States national security adviser and long-time fixture of US foreign policy circles went on a Washington Post Live event on March 4, 2022, where he declared that Russian President Vladimir Putin was “waiting” for the US to potentially withdraw from NATO.

During this live event, Bolton received a question about how close Trump was to getting the US out of NATO.
