President Donald Trump on Friday declined to condemn Russia over the poisoning of opposition leader Alexey Navalny, even though leaders from around the world, as well as other Trump administration officials, have pinned the blame on the country. At a press briefing on Friday, Trump was asked what his message to Russia was about Navalny's poisoning, after the German government said a chemical agent known to be utilized by the Kremlin was used against Navalny. We have to look at it very seriously. If that's the case, and I think we will," Trump said when asked how the US should react. "I don't know exactly what happened, I think it's tragic. It's terrible, it shouldn't happen. We haven't had any proof yet, but I will take a look," he added. It's the latest example of Trump declining to condemn Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin, for authoritarian actions. In the case of the Navalny poisoning, leaders around the world, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, offered strong condemnation and called for answers from the Russian government. In addition to German officials, a NATO in-house lab test proved "beyond doubt" that the opposition leader was poisoned with the military-grade nerve agent Novichok in what the NATO chief described Friday as an "assassination attempt."

Putin could piss on Trumps head on 5th Avenue in New York and Trump wouldn't say boo.

I prefer a leader who waits to find out the facts before taking a position.
Much better than knee jerking from world leaders and nonsense from Trump haters.
It was just something he ate...........

He's had the fact's for a few days. The German's have confirmed poisoning by a Russian nerve agent. What other fact's does the idiot need?
I sure don't recall Trump offering an American hospital to Navalny. That would be too correct.

after the German government said a chemical agent known to be utilized by the Kremlin...
The Germans did not confirm the Russians did it.
Does this mean it was the Russians who utilized it this time? Could it have been someone else who got a hold of the same agent?
This is why we shouldn't go around jerking our knees.
That's all total BS and you know it. The Russians have done it before. When Putin sees a threat to his rule, he acts.

He was a prominent Putin critic who was poisoned inside Russia with the same Russian developed nerve agent that multiple other critics of Putin were poisoned with.
Of course Trump won’t say anything. Ever heard the old saying about not biting the hand that feeds you?Trump declines to condemn Russia over Navalny poisoning

You must not be referring to Trump because he is allergic to facts.I prefer a leader who waits to find out the facts before taking a position.

So?
That is circumstantial evidence. I'll wait for the facts.
