In response to Donald Trump’s meeting in Alaska with Russian President Vladimir Putin, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Donald Trump has been cozying up to Vladimir Putin for years, and this meeting underscored the depth of his sick obsession with the Russian dictator and accused war criminal. Trump pulled out all the stops to charm Putin, letting him get the first — and last — word, gabbing with ‘Vladimir’ on their private ride in Trump’s motorcade, and rolling out the red carpet for one of our greatest adversaries — and seemingly got nothing in return. Trump has been clear that his foreign policy agenda is letting Russia ‘do whatever the hell they want’ — no matter how disastrous for the U.S. and our allies — and when put to the test, Trump embarrassed the United States by folding like a cheap suit.”
