Dan Rather: Under Trump Foreign Policy Has Become Incoherent And Amateurish

Welcome

Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to resume trade negotiations on Saturday during their meeting in Osaka at the annual Group of 20 summit, in an attempt to resolve a trade deal between the world's two largest economies. According to reports, both leaders agreed that the U.S. would not impose new tariffs during their discussion as world leaders met in Osaka during the two-day G20 summit to discuss economic, environmental and geopolitical issues.

Dan Rather joined CNN’s Anderson Cooper to talk about Donald Trump’s trip to the G20, specifically about the president’s behavior when it comes to Russia, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia. Dan remarked:

“We have to understand and whether you’re Republican, Democrat, Independent or whatever that under president trump American foreign policy has become incoherent and amateurish. For example tweeting at the president meet me at the DMZ, just like to see you and say hello. those kinds of things…  He no longer reads the intelligence report… He doesn’t read them. So it’s hard to say in President Trump’s case whether it’s more ineptitude, ignorance or mendacity, but whatever it is, it’s dangerous for the country.”
