Former Trump’s national security adviser John Bolton seemingly brushed off President-elect Trump’s decision to have billionaire Elon Musk join his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after his 2024 election victory.
“My first reaction when I heard it was, well, so what? What’s unusual about having the Vice President-elect sitting with the President-elect on a call? And then I realized, of course, Elon Musk wasn’t the Vice President-elect,” Bolton said “This is really, I think, typical of Trump.”
“[The] sort of bounds and norms are not Trump’s strength as we know. I wouldn’t get too hyper thyroid about it too quickly, but it’s certainly not a sign that order and stability have suddenly appeared at Mar-a-Lago despite what everybody is talking about, about these early appointments,” he added
Trump has spoken with a number of world leaders.
Zelensky said the call was a “productive conversation, a good conversation.”
