“When I said in an interview that Putin is ‘not going into Ukraine, you can mark it down, ‘ I am saying if I am President”. But, you know, the people of Crimea, from what I’ve heard, would rather be with Russian Federation than where they were.
In response to other questions about U.S. -Russia relations, Trump dismissed suggestions that he has any kind of relationship with Putin, saying he has neither met Putin nor spoken on the phone with him.
On Monday morning, Donald Trump attempted to clarify the incomprehensible position he staked out this weekend in an interview with George Stephanopoulos.
It’s too late to change the Trump campaign’s Russian Federation policy, and there’s no point trying to deny it. Trump and Manafort should just admit what their staffers did and defend the action on its merits, if they can.
Neither Page nor the Trump campaign responded to HuffPost’s queries regarding Page’s travel and his foreign policy advice to the candidate. “This has gone from being a matter of curiosity, and a matter of politics, to being a national security issue”.

Trump spearheaded the so-called birther movement which undermined America’s first black president by claiming that he was not born in the United Sates, and so disqualified from the job. The Ukrainian government says Russian Federation has done far more, sending more soldiers and weapons. When he was asked if he would advocate recognizing Russia’s annexation, he said: “I’m going to take a look at it”, before adding that “the people of Crimea, from what I’ve heard, would rather be with Russian Federation than where they were”. Trump slammed the twice-elected Obama as a “disaster”. The Obama administration sees Crimea and Eastern Ukraine as sovereign parts of Ukraine, and accuses Putin of violating global law. “It is a mess and I believe that Hillary Clinton will be even worse”, he said.
