Sen. John McCain

Senator John McCain responding to The Guardian about what message Trump had sent to the United Kingdom last week by criticizing the Mayor of London after three attackers left 8 dead and dozens wounded:

“What do you think the message is? The message is that America doesn’t want to lead,” McCain said, while adding of the rest of the world: “They are not sure of American leadership, whether it be in Siberia or whether it be in Antarctica.”

Asked if America’s standing on the global stage was better under Barack Obama, McCain, a fervent critic of the previous administration’s foreign policy, responded: “As far as American leadership is concerned, yes.”
