Pak Sahafat – An American journalist wrote in the new edition of his book published in 2020 that Trump intended to launch a nuclear attack on North Korea and blame it on others.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency, based on the new edition of the New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt’s book entitled “Donald Trump against the United States”, he planned to launch a nuclear attack on North Korea in 2017 and blame it on another country!
This book was published in 2020, but new sections will be added to it in its new edition.
According to Yonhap news agency, Schmidt used confidential documents from the FBI, the White House and confidential sources in federal executive agencies in his book to take a deeper look at Trump’s presidency.
In his book, Schmitt specifically discusses the life and tenure of John Kelly as the first deputy secretary of the interior ministry in the Trump administration and chief of staff of the White House between January 2017 and January 2019.
A week after John Kelly took office in the White House, Trump announced that North Korea and Kim Jong Un, whom Trump has dubbed Rocket Man, may face a fire of anger and power that no country in the world has ever seen.
According to Schmidt’s book, Kelly was more concerned about Trump’s comments in private than his public comments on Twitter. What scared Kelly more than the tweets was the fact that behind closed doors in the Oval Office, Trump was talking like he was going to war. He talked about the idea of ​​using nuclear weapons against North Korea, saying that if it did, the government could blame someone else to absolve itself of responsibility.
Kelly also said that although we tried to dissuade Trump from doing this with logical arguments, but according to him, at some point, the possibility of a preventive war against North Korea had greatly increased.
Along with Trump’s private statements about his war, he wrote a tweet in January 2018 that was completely consistent with his words behind the scenes.
In this tweet, Trump addressed the leader of North Korea said, “Kim says the nuclear bomb button is always on his desk. Does he know that I also have an atomic button that is bigger and more powerful than his button and it works?
It is also stated in this book; Trump openly spoke to his friends and confidants outside the administration via unsecured phones, prompting White House Chief of Staff John Kelly to warn Trump that he could not share classified information with his friends.
Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un met three times between 2018 and 2019 in Singapore, Hanoi, and the demilitarized zone on the border between the two Koreas. The meetings, which temporarily reduce tensions, but never opened a knot of long-term tension between the two countries.
