“I don’t know exactly what happened. I think it’s tragic, it’s scary, it shouldn’t happen,” Trump said.
“We haven’t seen the evidence yet, but I’ll look at it,” Trump said at a news conference.
According to the president, he had heard that Germany had learned that A. Navaln, who had felt ill during the flight last month, had been poisoned with a substance that paralyzes the Novičiok group’s nerves.
So Europe threatened Russia with new sanctions, and NATO called for an international investigation into a possible attack on the life of the opposition.
Germany informed its NATO partners and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that it had found “clear evidence” that Navaln had been poisoned by Novičiok.
“We didn’t see them ourselves,” Trump said, referring to the evidence from German investigators. He added that given what Germany was saying, it could have happened as they say. “I would be very angry if that happened.”
Trump did not say what action he would take if he was assured that there was indeed an attempt to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin. But he said Russia had so far been “tougher than anyone.”
Trump also said that he now views the nuclear arms control negotiations with Moscow as a key issue. “This is the most important thing,” said the president.
