White House National Security Adviser John Bolton on Sunday would not commit, one way or the other, on President Donald Trumps comments that were going to have to see if the United States eventually recognizes Russias annexation of Crimea.
Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are scheduled to meet on July 16.
Is the U.S. endorsing the idea that international borders can be redrawn by force? CBS News Margaret Brennan asked Bolton during an interview on Face the Nation, after referencing Trumps Friday remark. Is this actually a topic?
No, thats not the position of the United States Bolton said.

Expect Trump to also pull back from NATO, which he said is outdated.
I would not be surprised if Trump wanted to get rid of Puerto Rico somehow.
"I'll give you Puerto Rico in exchange for two Russian hookers" ?????

If it's something to 'blame' then Dotard can show how tough he is and make Putin give it back.
As if!
