ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Russia's challenge to NATO and democratic nations, as well as Iran's influence on the wider Middle East, remain two of the top threats to world peace, two former White House advisers to presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump said Tuesday.
The two spoke at the SALT finance conference in Abu Dhabi, hosted by Anthony Scaramucci, a financier who had a short-lived 11 days as the director of communications for the Trump White House. “You don't negotiate with the Iranian regime," Jones said."You have to be tough with it and you have to be consistent. And sooner or later, the people of Iran will do the right thing.”
Kelly separately warned Russia wants to challenge the U.S. as a world power, something that stands in contrast to Trump's efforts to have a warm relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
