Putin on Fox News Monday 7/16/2018 1/2 hour after Summit



LONDON – In the span of 24 hours, President Donald Trump upended a NATO gathering and expectations for his planned summit Monday in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin, raising questions about what Trump hoped to get out of the talks – and what he would be willing to give up.

At a news conference Thursday right before he left Brussels for London, Trump refused to rule out ending NATO exercises in the Baltic Sea. On the issue of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump said, “All I can do is say, ‘Did you?’ and ‘Don’t do it again.’ But (Putin) may deny it.”

In Brussels, he berated NATO allies over their defense spending, even privately threatening to walk out of the alliance – only to sign on to a unanimous declaration acknowledging the alliance has made progress. By the end, he declared NATO "much stronger than it was two days ago."

If the unpredictability Trump showed during the two-day NATO summit in Brussels re-emerges at the Putin summit, experts said, the United States could end up making dangerous concessions.

The two are going to collude even more than they already have and they will be laughing at the stupid Americans and raise a glass of vodka for a re-do in Nov for the midterms. THAT is what will be going on and we all know it! Period.

Trump said, “All I can do is say, ‘Did you?’ and ‘Don’t do it again.’ But (Putin) may deny it . . . ‘cause, we’ll, Putin is my daddy.”

For FOX to give Putin a platform to speak to the country he attacked is just absolutely sick.
