In the Navalny case, according to President Trump, the United States has yet to receive any evidence of a poisoning attack. However, he also has no reason to doubt the federal government’s findings, Trump said.
According to President Donald Trump, the US government has yet to see any evidence that Alexei Navalny has been poisoned. “I do not know exactly what happened. It is tragic, terrible, we have not seen any evidence, but we will see it,” Trump said at a press conference at the White House on the case of the Russian opposition politician. Germany had previously informed its NATO allies, including the United States, that Navalny had been exposed to a neurotoxin from the Novichok group before falling into a coma. Trump refrained from criticizing Moscow, instead emphasizing that he had a good relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The federal government considers it proven that Navalny was poisoned with Novitschok. The Kremlin critic fell suddenly into a coma on a flight home and is being treated in Berlin at the urging of his family. “Based on what Germany says, that seems to be the case,” Trump said of Navalny being poisoned by Novichok. “I would be very upset if that was the case.” The US president said nothing about the possible consequences, but stressed that he was “much tougher on Russia than on anyone else.” At the same time, the president emphasized that the ongoing negotiations with Moscow on the control of nuclear weapons were more important than any other issue. “That’s the most important thing,” Trump said.
EU analyzes sanctions against Russia
Possible sanctions against Russia due to the poison attack are currently being discussed at the EU level. At a special NATO meeting on Friday, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called for an “impartial” investigation into the case. All 30 members of the alliance have “condemned the” horrible assassination attempt “of the Kremlin critic” in the strongest possible terms, “Stoltenberg said. The use of nerve agents is” a flagrant violation of international law “and requires” a international response “.
Russia denies being involved in the poisoning of the 44-year-old politician. In this context, US President Trump renewed his criticism of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project. He does not understand why Germany does business with Russia and at the same time imposes sanctions on Moscow and then hopes that the United States is militarily protected against the country. In Germany, too, there are now politicians who are critical of the Navalny poisoning project and want to end it.
