Former CIA Director John Brennan blasted President Donald Trump’s sudden decision to quash sanctions on North Korea in a policy-via-tweet announcement Friday.
Enacting sanctions in the first place requires a collaborative decision from a host of agencies including intelligence, defense and commerce officials, Brennan noted.Brennan argued that move was made “arbitrarily, unilaterally” and “mindlessly” for Kim, who has shown no serious signs of denuclearizing his country.
Trump’s tweet immediately sparked confusion as it followed a U.S. Treasury Department announcement on Thursday that additional sanctions were being slapped on North Korean shipping companies. However, it remains unclear which sanctions Trump was referring to.The president’s behavior struck Brennan as “very abnormal” and “bizarre.”
