John Bolton, who served as Mr Trump’s national security adviser from 2018 to 2019 and previously as the US ambassador to the UN, told Newsmax in an interview that his former boss “barely knew where Ukraine was”.
“He once asked John Kelly, his second chief of staff, if Finland were a part of Russia,” the former ambassador said of the single-term US president on Monday. “The fact is that he barely knew where Ukraine was.”
