- Hei @iltalehti_fi kyseessä on National Security Council Senior Director for Europe, Amanda Sloat. Luonteva henkilö huoneeseen. "Mysteerinainen istui pöydässä Bidenin ja Niinistön kanssa – Kukaan ei tunnu tietävän, kuka hän on" iltalehti.fi/ulkomaat/a/0a9…
- Grateful for opportunity to join Biden Administration with amazing colleagues to rebuild transatlantic relationship & work with Europe on global challenges. Thank you for kind congrats & good wishes! buildbackbetter.gov/press-releases…
- NATO Article 5 is limited geographically to attacks on member states' territories. If Russia attacked Turkish forces, it happened in Syria - not inside Turkey. Ankara could call for Article 4 consultations, as it did in 2015.NATO officials had previously indicated Article 5 is not on the table vis a vis Turkish troops in Idlib
- On Friday night, I left White House for last time as NSC Senior Director for Europe. Grateful for opportunity to serve this president at this historic moment, revitalising transatlantic relations, defending Ukraine’s sovereignty, and seeking peace & prosperity across continent.
- Bolton's book reveals Trump's offer to interfere in SDNY case against Turkey's HalkBank. Reupping my @lawfare piece from 2017, as Erdogan's interest in trial & questionable involvement by Trump Admin is nothing new. lawfareblog.com/why-turkey-car…
- Delighted to have been part of @Transition46. Excited to report to White House at 12:01 today to help @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris & great team #BuildBackBetter, including our transatlantic relations. Lots of important work to be done together!
- This tweet from 6 weeks ago was extremely prescient 👇🏼I’m imagining what would be happening if it were Black people across the nation defying stay-at-home orders and demonstrating in large groups against the law. Riot units would be breaking up rallies. Tear gas would be flying. Jails would be filling up. Trump would be raging.
- Tomorrow marks 2 months since my dad died. To honor his memory, I wrote about our relationship in the hopes of encouraging others with political divisions in their families. Life is too short to let politics tear us apart.
- Powerful piece by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. “What you should see when you see black protesters in the age of Trump and coronavirus is people pushed to the edge, not because they want bars and nail salons open, but because they want to live. To breathe.”
- Replying to @A_SloatTrump fired Preet Bharara, U.S. District Attorney who brought indictment, in March 2017. Per Bolton, “Trump told Erdogan he would take care of things, as Southern District prosecutors were not his people but Obama people, which would be fixed when replaced by his people.”
