Former U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen says President Donald Trump is a 'disruptive force' in politics, and his inconsistency could undermine his administration.

Former U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen says President Donald Trump is a"disruptive force" in politics, and his unpredictable behavior could undermine his own administration.

The U.S. Treasury Department blacklisted two Chinese companies on Thursday, saying they helped North Korea dodge U.S. and international sanctions. Those measures are aimed at pressuring North Korea to dismantle its nuclear and missile programs. The president's tweet led many to conclude he was overturning Thursday's sanctions on the Chinese companies. However, some media reports indicated that Trump might have been referring to future sanctions.

Cohen, a frequent critic of Trump, called the president"non-predictable" and"a very disruptive force in politics."
