John Bolton expressed concerns about the Trump-Putin summit location, suggesting it may compromise military secrets accessible to the Russian delegation. During the meeting at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Bolton highlighted the presence of sensitive stealth aircraft and noted that everyone in the Russian delegation is a suspected spy. He criticized the choice of location, believing it should not be held on the military base. Bolton had previously described the summit as a significant victory for Putin, indicating an ideal scenario would be in Moscow rather than Alaska.
Former national security adviser John Bolton warned that the location of the summit between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin may compromise military secrets because this whole base is now available to [the Russians].
Yeah, these are very sensitive, stealth aircraft... Everybody in the Russian party is a suspected spy. This whole base is now available to them, at least to some extent.
Bolton previously called the summit a great victory for Putin, saying the only place better for Putin than Alaska would be if the summit were being held in Moscow.
Cooper noted that Bolton was surprised that [Trump and Putin] were having this kind of a photo-op with these aircraft, referencing the moment the two leaders met on the tarmac flanked by fighter jets.
