“You must take it very seriously”
At his daily press conference on Friday, Donald Trump was asked about the poisoning and what the international reaction against Russia should look like.
– We must take it very seriously. And I think we will. No one has been tougher on Russia than me, says the president.
He continued off topic:
– We agree. I agree with almost all countries. I agree with North Korea. If Hillary (Clinton) had been elected, we would already be at war with North Korea. It had been a very bad war. Many millions had died.
