John Bolton Rules Out Cooperation with Trump.. Warns About His Second Term

Speculation about forming Trump's second administration dominated the U.S. political scene, while former National Security Advisor John Bolton ruled out any future cooperation with the president-elect, telling "Al Arabiya News" Friday: "Well, as the saying goes, I'm not sitting alone at home by the phone waiting for his call, that's for sure".

Bolton's updated memoirs, released on January 30, 2024, revealed sharp criticism of Trump, describing him as "extremely selfish" and someone who "punishes personal adversaries and appeases enemies in Russia and China."

The former advisor highlighted his concerns about Trump's second term, warning of possible withdrawal from NATO, reducing support for Ukraine, and encouraging China to besiege Taiwan, considering that "Trump is not qualified to be president."

Final presidential election results showed Trump's sweeping victory with 301 electoral votes, exceeding the required 270-vote threshold, while his Democratic rival Kamala Harris received 226 votes.

The president-elect began forming his new administration by appointing Susie Wales as White House Chief of Staff, announcing in an official statement: "Susie Wales helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history."

Trump praised Wales's appointment as the first woman to hold this prestigious position in U.S. history, confirming she "will continue working tirelessly to make America great again."

The contrast between Bolton's hardline position and loyal Wales's appointment reflects the division scale within the president-elect's political circle, raising questions about the new administration's directions.

Political analysts expect fundamental changes in the upcoming government formation, with a clear tendency toward appointing figures loyal to the president-elect in key positions.
