S. And deeds over new cars fondant. Is joining us weve seen and heard germanys response to the apparent poisoning of. Me but what about the United States how has. The latest developments been received there. Thats right pablo in that report there we heard strong condemnation from angola markel weve also heard strong remarks from Boris Johnson and other World Leaders and we would certainly expect a similarly sharp reaction from a sitting u. S. President unfortunately we havent heard that directly from donald trump as of right now a few hours ago though the National Security council did tweet that the u. S. Is deeply troubled and called the poisoning of alexina a completely reprehensible they also say that the United States will work with its allies and the International Community to hold those in russia accountable interestingly we also heard from former National Security advisor john bolton who either quit or was fired pending on who you ask he tweeted that trump should demand answers from moscow and as youll remember he was one of the hawkish figures in the trumpet ministration when dealing with the russians but again trump hasnt directly said anything yet and this lack of response may not be surprising given trump has been reluctant to criticize russia in the past but at the same time we have to remember that the u.

And biden did take questions actually from the press today and was mostly domestic issues however when deval need 1st fell ill biden was quick to slam trump for being weak on russia this has been a widely held belief by democrats throughout the Trump Presidency as we know and it started with the alleged russian interference in the 26000. 00 election which trump continues to downplay and dismiss more recently the president brushed off reports that russia had placed bounties on u. S. Soldiers in afghanistan and biden has repeatedly said that he would be much tougher on putin and other autocrats if he were the commander in chief that trump is more than happy to cozy up to offshore terry leaders and pick fights with allies which has hurt americas standing in the world to be front and center on days like today pablo.
