Haley: Russia 'never will be' friend of US
Source: The Hill
Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Monday that Russia is never going to be our friend, but downplayed concerns over President Trumps meeting and press conference last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
We dont trust Russia. We dont trust Putin. We never will. Theyre never going to be our friend. Thats just a fact, Haley told Christian Broadcasting Networks David Brody.
But what I do think is, whether its the president sitting down with (North Korean leader) Kim, or whether the president sits down with Putin, those are things that have to happen, she added, calling Trumps summit in Finland last week a long time coming.
The president has faced a week of criticism for his performance in his meeting with Putin, where he cast doubt on the U.S. intelligence communitys conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
