McCain calls Trump a coward

US Senator John McCain sharply criticised, not to mention individual names, Isolationist policies, while being honoured with medals for service and sacrifice for the country.

Former Vice President Joe Biden awarded Senator McCain the Freedom Medal at the ceremony organised at the National Constitutional Centre in Philadelphia, where Mr. McCain said the locking of America's role as an international leader is a <x0-patriotic action”.

To be afraid of the world that we organized and headed for more than 75 years, to abandon the ideals that we have spread around the globe, to reject obligations as a world leadership country and our duty to remain the last best hope on earth, for the sake of some questionable and half nationalisms, cooked by some people who would previously accuse others of solving problems, is just as unpatotic as an annex to any other sort of pale dogma of the past that Americans threw into the pile of ashes of history. ”

Mr. McCain did not mention President Donald Trump's name, but the message of President “The pre-”, who apparently jeopardises the country's international position, has sparked sharp criticism, including the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris climate agreement and the president's continuing crackdown on the US Allies' nuclear agreement with Iran. / VoA
