NYT's Krugman: US, Russia and Saudi Arabia are 'new axis of evil'

BY MEGAN KELLER - 12/10/18 09:29 AM EST

New York Times opinion columnist Paul Krugman said Monday that Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United States represent a new axis of evil.

"There's a new axis of evil: Russia, Saudi Arabia — and the United States," Krugman tweeted, linking to a story about how the three countries all declined to endorse the United Nation's latest climate study.

The phrase "axis of evil" was coined by former President George Bush to refer to Iraq, Iran and North Korea in 2002.
