US President Donald Trump (72) acts after the Schmuse summit with Kremlin President Vladimir Putin (65 years) and in the midst of his most serious, ever more impulsive crisis. He seems completely detached from his advisory staff – especially intelligence services.
And it goes on: Unexpectedly, he invited the Russian president to Washington for a second summit. The idea of seeing the Russian leader at the White House makes most Americans shudder.
Intelligence Taps in the Dark
Even more alarming: Trump now leaves all the security apparatus of the American superpower in the dark. The result was a scene that has already been clbadified as a historically bizarre moment.
At a security forum in Aspen, Dan Coats, 75, chief national co-intelligence, was interviewed by Andrea Mitchell, NBC correspondent. The Express message informed that the White House has invited Russian President Vladimir Putin and he arrives in the autumn. Coats was completely surprised by this and commented, "Well, that's going to be special."
