Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday morning that President Donald Trump should not engage directly in the details of negotiation with North Korea.
“First of all, don’t try to negotiate the details with Kim Jong-un,” Rice told Fox & Friends. “Leave that for people who understand all the nuances of the situation.”
Rice noted that she was the last American to negotiate with the North Korean regime, when she was dealing with Kim Jong-un’s father, Kim Jong-il.
“You have to give the [Trump] administration a lot of credit,” she said, for pressuring China to rein in the Kim regime and for using the threat of military force to isolate North Korea.
However, she said, the president should leave the nuts-and-bolts of diplomacy to others, even though he would be meeting directly with Kim Jong-un at a summit in the coming weeks. And she warned that the Kim regime was still a murderous one with a track record of breaking its promises.
Rice said she supported the Trump administration’s move toward pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal.
“I actually think if we pull out now, it is not going to be the disaster everybody is talking about,” she said. “I would not have signed this deal. I don’t think it was a very good deal. I think we were in a hurry to get a deal and we left a lot on the table. … If we get out of this deal, it is going to be just fine.”
Asked whether she wanted to leave the Iran deal, Rice said: “I would probably have stayed in for alliance management purposes but … if the president decides to pull out of the deal I have no argument with that.”

The same people who couldn't get here in 40 years of trying? The same people who gave us the Iran Deal?
How did you make ?
She's a wine and champagne expert.
Yes Secretary Rice, let’s leave the details to the foreign policy “experts” who have gottten America entangled in one overseas mess after another for decades at the cost of trillions from our national treasury and the lives of many American servicemen too! The greatest service the Trump presidency has done for this nation is to expose the shameful reality that we have incompetent fools at all levels of our federal government who have run us into the ground!
Condi voted for Obama.
STFU you two time Obama Voter
My sentiments too. A uniparty apparatchick heard from - as if anyone cares.
She’s peddling a book. That’s why she’s on the tube. A few ‘statements’ on the subject are good for sales as she is now an ‘expert’ to the MSM. Play the game Condi.
Rice couldn’t handle a girl scout troop.
Yeah, the “Experts” have served us so well the last 40 years, Shut Up and play the Piano, OK.
She isn’t criticizing him. She gives him credit, and she agrees with his stance on the Iran non-treaty.
Of course!
Little did I know at the time just how corrupt and phony the Bush Admin was.
Taking advice from a 4 year old is more reliable than from this creature.
The headline title served as its own barf alert.
And I barfed.
All the idiots like her in our Gov with POLY/SCI degrees and the likes. Unreal. We have very few people in the Federal Gov who have any real world experience.
Those experts would have us in another war. Go away Condi.
Advisors are always with the president to guide him on decisions and then, the president makes the final decision. Rice said a pretty stupid comment in my opinion and just needs to go away.
Condoleeza Rice...someone whose advise should be immediately ignored!
Moodajay -The feeling that I’ve heard this Bullshit before.
