Former White House national security adviser John Bolton on Monday said the negotiations to end the war in Iran are "a mistake."
Bolton, an outspoken critic of President Trump's handling of the conflict, told CNN's Pamela Brown that he hopes to see the discussions "break down."
"I think the ceasefire was a mistake," he said. "I think these negotiations are a mistake. I think we're on the verge of something that ultimately history will decide was a catastrophic loss for the United States."
