Trump faced backlash for his stance on whether Russia’s president is responsible for the death of Alexei Navalny.
Donald Trump drew criticism over the weekend with his latest remarks about Russian President Vladimir Putin.
During an interview with Fox News’ Howard Kurtz on Sunday, the former president weighed in on whether he believes Putin was responsible for the death of Alexei Navalny, a key Russian opposition leader and Putin critic who died at age 47 in February while serving a 19-year prison sentence for fraud and contempt of court. His death brought global condemnation, with much of the world, including President Joe Biden, blaming Russia’s president.
Trump had remained quiet on the topic until the Sunday interview, in which he agreed the Russian leader was “probably” responsible. Still, his remarks were met with a chilly reception from his critics, who said he should have made more forceful remarks condemning Putin
Kurtz asked: “The media, as you know, blame Putin. Joe Biden blames Putin.
