Nick Burns: Trump Has the Weakest Policy on Russia of Any President in 70 Years

‘If Trump does see Vladimir Putin as an ally that most Americans think he does, yesterday was a very good day for Donald Trump’s ally’

EXCERPT:

BURNS: "I just returned from Europe this week. They’re focused on the Russia threat in Eastern Europe, the pressure on Ukraine, the instigation of further fighting in eastern Ukraine, the pressure on the Baltic states. And the President has had the weakest policy on Russia than any American president in 70 years. The Europeans are concerned about that. As you know, any prior American president would have gone to that summit yesterday and be seen as the leader of the West and would have rallied NATO to stand up to Russia, to keep the American and European sanctions on the Russians, and the President didn’t do any of that yesterday and didn’t reconfirm and reaffirm Article Five, the collective defense agreement. He didn’t act like the strong leader that Ronald Reagan was. The Europeans are concerned about this."
