Haley: Russia 'never will be' friend of US

Source: The Hill

Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Monday that Russia is “never going to be our friend,” but downplayed concerns over President Trump’s meeting and press conference last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We don’t trust Russia. We don’t trust Putin. We never will. They’re never going to be our friend. That’s just a fact,” Haley told Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody.

“But what I do think is, whether it’s the president sitting down with (North Korean leader) Kim, or whether the president sits down with Putin, those are things that have to happen,” she added, calling Trump’s summit in Finland last week a “long time coming.”

The president has faced a week of criticism for his performance in his meeting with Putin, where he cast doubt on the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

Not when they've turned the White House into the Russia House.

She's not going to make a statement that isn't measured and balanced considering her aspirations and backers.

to Trump's list of people who are getting their security clearances revoked. You just don't say things that contradict Mean Mr. Mustard's statements or thoughts. I hear Papa John's is hiring, Nikki.

first of all, we could be friends with Russia someday , we could hopefully trust them someday .

the problem is the system as it is now and the asshole running the country .
