McMaster complained that Trump 'thinks he can be friends with Putin': report

Former national security adviser H.R. McMaster reportedly complained during his time in the White House about President Trump’s stance toward Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"The president thinks he can be friends with Putin,” McMaster said, according to a report published in The Washington Post on Friday that cited U.S. officials.

"I don’t know why, or why he would want to be," McMaster was quoted as saying.

The comments came in a report looking ahead to Trump's trip to Europe next week, where he will meet with NATO allies before holding a summit with Putin in Helsinki on July 16.

I really liked Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State. I think he had foreign policy down pretty well. I don't blame McMaster. This is about the only place, I greatly disagree with Trump. Echoes of what Ralph Peters said per McMaster.
