John Bolton, Donald Trump’s former national security advisor, has been on a whirlwind tour promoting his new tell-all book.
Trump has hit back at many of the book’s claims—trying, and failing, to get the publication of the book blocked.
With the November 2020 election fast approaching and Trump’s deteriorating relationship with China expected to remain a major issue, Trump’s order to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to focus on a bitcoin clampdown over negotiating a China trade deal could have deep ramifications.
«Don’t be a trade negotiator,» Trump reportedly told Mnuchin in May 2018, ordering him instead to: «Go after bitcoin [for fraud].»
«If you don’t want me on trade, fine, your economic team will execute whatever you want,» Mnuchin shot back at Trump, according to an excerpt from Bolton’s new book obtained by the Washington Examiner.
