Trump Criticized Obama-Era Nuclear Arms Deal During Call With Putin

The official said Trump has been bothered by the leaks, which the White House finds “very concerning”. “It’s something all diplomats do”, he said.

He declined to elaborate on the nature of the investigation.

Anxious about President Donald Trump’s continued praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. Sen.

Moscow expects the administration of US President Donald Trump to continue the implementation of the agreement on the Iranian nuclear deal, the Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak said. Having consulted his advisors, Trump told Putin that the START-3 agreement was one of unsuccessful transactions concluded by the Obama administration. Ben Cardin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, said.

“They have sanctions on Russia – let’s see if we can make some good deals with Russia”, Trump was reported as saying, according to Reuters and other news outlets. The network’s Bill O’Reilly labeled Vladimir Putin “a killer” and Trump replied that there are “a lot of killers” – then Trump asked: “You think our country’s so innocent?”

“The Reuters report.suggests that he’s extremely ill-informed about the most serious foreign policy, national security issues a president needs to know”, says Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Arms Control Association, a nonpartisan organization focused on arms control policy. “He wanted an opinion on something”. President Putin refused to retaliate and instead invited the children of USA diplomats in Russian Federation to spend the New Years’ holidays at the Kremlin. A spokesperson for German Chancellor Angela Merkel put out a statement that the German government “explained” America’s obligations under the Geneva conventions to Trump in a phone call between the two leaders.

The various officials also told The Washington Post, that while sanctions were discussed between the pair, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has not found Mr Flynn gave an explicit promise to reverse Mr Obama’s sanctions. He then ended the call after telling Turnbull it was the “worst call [of the day] by far“.

President Trump’s heady campaign rhetoric about possible detente with Russian Federation is coming to terms with the realities of his chaotic new administration.

The administration has been denying the report of conversations.
