Marie Harf: ‘Quite Bizarre’ Trump’s ‘Unwilling or Unable to Criticize Russia’

EXCERPT:

HARF: "Remember President George W. Bush looking into Putin’s soul and seen -- seen into his soul and seen good things. So there are places where we can work together; on the Iran nuclear deal we worked together. On environmental issues we work together. But I think the Trump administration needs to be very clear-eyed and realistic about whether you can pull Russia away from Assad. Can we use Russia to try and get a political resolution in Syria? Sure. But we shouldn’t be naive. And I’m concerned that President Trump seems really unwilling or unable to criticize Russia over anything. It’s actually quite bizarre to me."
