The US will never trust Russia or its President Vladimir Putin, America’s envoy to the UN Nikki Haley has said amidst an uproar over President Donald Trump’s alleged bonhomie with his Russian counterpart.
Trump, who met with Putin in Helsinki last week, has been slammed by the US media and political opponents for failing to defend the American intelligence community during a much-talked about Press conference with Putin in Helsinki after their first summit.
The US Ambassador to the UN told Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) News: “We don’t trust Russia, we don’t trust Putin, we never will. They’re never going to be our friend. That’s just a fact.”
At the same time, Haley supported the move to have talks with the Russians.
