Former Obama administration official Susan Rice on Friday questioned President Donald Trump's ability to successfully execute a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and she warned an unsuccessful meeting could increase the risk of conflict.
MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell–in response to an announcement that Trump will meet with Kim in the coming months–said to Rice that while the United States doesn't necessarily have a strategy for negotiations for an upcoming meeting, North Korea does.
"What is the downside, if there is this big-flags-waving, red carpet summit and then no results?" Mitchell asked the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and national security adviser.
"I think it's very risky," Rice said. "It risks the president's credibility, the credibility of the United States, and worse still, I think it increases the risk of conflict if they go into something with very high expectations, poor preparation, and the president acting in his typically mercurial way."
"We could end up in a much worse place then we are today," Rice warned.
Rice said there are steps that could be taken to make the meeting productive, but she expressed caution in describing the meeting as "high risk" and commenting that Trump "may not have the temperament" to execute a successful meeting.
Shouldn’t she be indicted?
these people really think that their own careers were stellar
that’s scary
She along with a good many of Obama’s cabinet members need to be indicted for their many crimes. This includes unmasking Americans and leaking classified information to the media.
Too funny! I wonder if Susan Rice has the presence of mind to understand that Trump had more presence of mind than all his successors and got Fat Kim to ask for a sit down - without aiding and abetting him and funding his nuclear pot banging - I think that the vast majority of those who question Trump’s presence of mind have absolutely zero personal presence of mind...
This woman, who went on national TV and out right lied as to what happened in Libya, wants to offer an opinion on North Korea talks. Yeah. Right. Sure. Go away, Susan.
RAT projection is always a fun read.
Progressive arrogance always destroys & these morons marching towards the cliff again, thankfully.
What makes her think anyone wants to hear the drivel she has to say? She is nothing but a black speck on a dirty toilet bowl that needs knocking off while urinating.
