Former Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, talks about Trump 2024, the failures of the EU and the United States leading up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and his new book ‘The Envoy: Mastering the Art of Diplomacy with Trump and the World.' Ambassador Sondland comments, he “hopes [Trump] doesn't” run in 2024, saying there “are excellent candidates that can carry those policies forward.” His reasoning being, that, “January 6, was a red line. I could take the good, the bad, and the ugly from the day he came down the escalator until January 6, there are a lot of incredibly important things that President Trump did. There were also some very destructive things he did. But it's like any relationship, you roll with the punches. I did not think anything that he had done while I served, merited my resignation. In other words, even if I didn't support what he said, or did, I saluted smartly, and was a good sort of company soldier, because again, I didn't think it rose to the point where I was prepared to resign over it.” Sondland comments that, “the January 6 thing was different, because the transfer of power, the peaceful transfer of power, for America is critical. It's absolutely critical. That's what we do. That's our brand, and for the world to see what happened on January 6, and the events leading up to it in the events following it, I think, really damaged us. Maybe not irreparably, but certainly for a long time. The Ambassador, who served in the Trump administration, comments that while Trump was a great President, he should become “an elder statesman, a kingmaker, and let one of the 5,6,7 really great candidates out there, advance, move forward and take a lot of the good things he did, and then employ those as the new policies in 2024. I think the country would be better served.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Donald Trump's greatest foreign policy achievement was the Abraham Accords advancing peace in the Middle East, says Gordon Sondland, who served as ambassador to the European Union under Trump. "I think the strategy behind the Abraham Accords was you can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result," Sondland says.The Abraham Accords is the formal term for agreements to normalize relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors, including the United Arab Emirates and Morocco and later Sudan and Morocco. It is viewed as a historic victory for peace in the Middle East.

Yes, Sondland is the “quid pro quo” guy. But as it turns out, he has plenty to say that's far more memorable. People still stop Sondland at the grocery store or in the airport—Republicans and Democrats alike—and offer him high-fives. Business associates, strangers, and even close friends still ask him: “How did you do that?” What they're really asking is: How did he survive Trump? How did he handle being grilled by the Senate intelligence committee? How did he come out of the situation intact, able to move on? These are just a few of the questions Sondland wants to answer in The Envoy—a surprising and endlessly amusing account of inflated egos, botched phone calls, bad behavior, and international jujitsu.

European Union ambassador Gordon Sondland, a key witness in the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry into President Trump delivered explosive testimony on Capitol Hill yesterday. Sondland testified there was a “quid pro quo” regarding Ukraine, with the president's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani taking a leading role on the administration's dealings with that nation. However, Republicans point to Sondland's testimony that he “never heard from President Trump that aid was conditioned on an announcement" of investigations. Fox News Politics Editor Chris Stirewalt discusses key takeaways of Sondland's testimony and if the President committed an impeachable offense. Recent developments surrounding the death of high-profile financier and sex offender  Jeffery Epstein appear to be fueling conspiracy theories. According to a recently filed indictment, the two guards that were supposed to watch Jeffrey Epstein's cell on the night of his death “failed to complete mandated counts of prisoners.” FOX's Bryan Llenas has been covering the story from the beginning, and explains why these conspiracy theories won't be going away anytime soon.
