John Bolton’s Hidden Aftershocks

The news media has largely moved on, but foreign government officials remain fixated on John Bolton’s memoir, The Room Where It Happened, Axios reports.

Bolton’s detailed inside-the-Oval revelations have raised the blood pressure of allies who were already stressed about President Trump’s unreliability.

One example: “European officials, who have spent three and a half years fretting that Trump would withdraw the U.S. from NATO, are treated to a hair-raising account of just how close Trump came to announcing he would do just that.”

“The behind-the-scenes maneuverings from Trump’s team to stop that from happening suggest it’s still a real possibility.”
