Trump X’s article only criticized Biden without mentioning Navalny or Putin
Haley emphasizes that Putin, whom Trump praised and defended, is the culprit
POLITICO reported on the 16th (local time) that the death in prison of Russian dissident Alexei Navali is causing outrage around the world, but former US President Donald Trump is keeping silent.
Meanwhile, Nikki Haley, who is competing with Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, criticized Trump’s silence after praising Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Trump campaign responded to a reporter asking for its position on Navalny’s death, referring to a statement that did not mention Navalny or Russian President Putin.
“The world has been experiencing tragedy, destruction and death for three and a half years under lame Joe Biden,” Trump said in a vague statement posted on Truth Social. America is no longer respected because of an incompetent president who is weak and unaware of the trends of the world. Only I can bring peace, prosperity and stability like I did during my last term. “America will be respected again and (if necessary) feared,” he wrote.
Candidate Haley said, “Putin murdered a political opponent and Trump, who said he would encourage Putin to invade our allies, is not saying a word.” He is only posting more than twenty trials and false polls through social media,” he wrote on X.
Earlier, right after hearing the report of Navalny’s death, Haley said, “Putin is the culprit. “This is Putin, whom Donald Trump praised and defended,” he posted on social media.
“Trump said this,” Haley said. ‘To be fair, they say Putin is killing people, but I haven’t seen it,’” he said, recalling comments Trump made in 2015 about the death of a journalist. At the time, Trump praised Putin’s leadership and called him a “strong leader.”
Trump later called Putin “very smart,” and boasted about Putin praising him on NBC last September.
