When US President Donald Trump was asked who might have poisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, he said he would talk about it “next time.”
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, on September 21 did not comment on the situation with the poisoning of the leader of the Russian opposition Alexei Navalny.
In a briefing, the transcript of which was posted on the White House website, the journalist asked Trump: “Who do you think poisoned Alexei Navalny?”
“We will discuss this next time,” the US president responded.
On August 20, the plane in which Navalny flew from Tomsk to Moscow, urgently landed in Omsk due to the deteriorating state of the politician. Navalny was unconscious in the toxic resuscitation department of the No. 1 emergency hospital in Omsk. On the morning of August 22, he was flown to the Berlin Charite clinic.
On September 2, the German government announced that traces of a substance similar in composition to Novichok had been found in Navalny’s body. The biological material extracted from the politician was examined by a special laboratory of the German armed forces. The fact of the poisoning of Navalny with poison from the Novichok group was also confirmed by laboratories in France and Sweden.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said Berlin’s statements about the Navalny poisoning were not supported by facts. The head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, claims that there were no traces of poison on the politician’s body at the time of his departure to Germany.
The “Charite” doctors announced on September 7 that Navalny was brought out of a medical coma and disconnected from the ventilator. On September 14, German doctors reported that the politician is feeling better and is on his feet. On September 15, the opponent posted his first Instagram post after the poisoning.
Immediately after the poisoning became known, Trump said the United States was monitoring the situation. On September 7, he said he agreed with the idea of abandoning the Nord Stream 2 project in connection with the Navalny poisoning.
