John Bolton urges the US and others to 'consider Taiwan an independent country'
ABCAmid the latest spike in tensions between China and Taiwan, Donald Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton has a characteristically blunt message. Tense times China, or the People's Republic of China, considers Taiwan, or the Republic of China, to be a breakaway province and has vowed to "unify" the island with the mainland. He said he was "actually fairly optimistic that Trump's support was declining" until the recent FBI search of the former president's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. Bolton said for the upcoming November midterm elections "if about Donald Trump, Republicans will not do as well as they should". Looking beyond to the next US presidential election, he said: "My super PAC 's polling shows within the Republican Party … want to see a new face in 2024".
