Nixon on foreign policy highlights from Frost interview
Washington AP outlines former President Richard Nixon reflections on his administration. In the Middle East he rejects a Soviet plan to send two divisions to Israel as madness and credits himself with aiding Sadat by offering Israel a deal to preserve the Egyptian Third Army. Nixon comments on Kissinger and bureaucratic infighting and notes Mao’s age and control in China. He describes Khrushchev’s inferiority complex and Brezhnev as slower but more mannered, and discusses China’s relations and Taiwan risks amid broader tensions with India and Pakistan.
