The result of the meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, on Monday (16), did not end well for the American president. Trump's stance during the meeting put his government in check and sealed off the president of the United States after he turned his back on allies and opened his arms to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. Representatives from different political spectrum tendencies have accused Trump of "weakness" and "betrayal" or criticized his speech as "shameful" and "embarrassing.
Here are some excerpts from Trump's speech that have been questioned:
1 - Russian Conspiracy in the 2016 US Elections
Putin "told me it was not Russia. I will only say that I see no reason why it should have been," Trump said in a statement that in practice ignored the findings of intelligence agencies and the Justice Department itself.
Days before this meeting with Putin, the Justice Department has formally accused 12 Russian citizens of interfering in the 2016 elections.
That's why lawmakers and former Republican and Democratic Party officials called Trump's performance "shameful," "cowardly," and even "on the brink of betrayal."
