“It is very, very difficult to pin down where he stands on a lot of these policies,” Clinton’s Senior Foreign Policy Advisor Jake Sullivan said when asked about his views on Trump’s foreign policy proposals during a discussion at the Asia Society here on Monday.
“He’ll say on the one hand, the Chinese are eating our lunch, and on the other hand, we have all the leverage in the world to make the Chinese do whatever we want,” Sullivan said.
“On the one hand, we should sit down with the Russians ...on the other hand, if I need to, I’ll just shoot down Russian fighter jets. He says on the one hand, the United States can do whatever it wants, wherever it wants, to achieve whatever purpose it wants. On the other hand, we’re doing
too much and we can’t do all that. We have to stop,” Sullivan said.
Sullivan, who has also served as a national security adviser to Vice President Joe Biden, said Trump’s world views can put America at great risk.
