Former National Security Advisor John Bolton tore into Donald Trump’s efforts to denuclearize North Korea as ineffective, saying that Kim Jong Un’s threat to the U.S. will only increase with time.
“Maybe this isn’t the popular thing to say -- but despite all the friendly notes and photo ops, North Korea isn’t our friend and never will be,” Bolton wrote in a letter Thursday seeking donations for his 2020 political action committee. “North Korea will never give up their nuclear weapons. Period.”
