"John Kerry: Putin, countries like China ‘taking advantage’ of Trump" PBS NewsHour 9/10/2018

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  Former Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday he’s “never” seen an administration in as much disarray as President Donald Trump’s, and warned that other countries were “taking advantage” of the chaos in Washington.

“There are certain people who are readily and happily taking advantage of this President,” including China and Russia, Kerry told PBS NewsHour anchor and Managing Editor Judy Woodruff.  “I think people all over the world are holding their breath and wondering what’s next.”

Kerry criticized Trump’s foreign and domestic policies, saying the President had a “disdain for fact,” and argued that congressional gridlock and partisanship in the U.S. was having a “horrible effect” around the world.
