Many foreign policy experts are deeply concerned that Trump, who admittedly doesn’t like to read books, is willing to make big and bold statements about foreign policy without actually knowing what he’s talking about.
Donald Trump has “helpfully” cleared up his relationship with Vladimir Putin by affirming that the Russian President has never bought him dinner. All right? You can mark it down, you can put it down, you can take it any way you want.
In 2014, Moscow staged a military intervention in the Ukrainian peninsula and consequently annexed Crimea through a public referendum, which the UN, US, Germany and other Western allies condemned as an assault on Ukraine’s sovereignty. Western governments accuse Russian Federation of sending troops and weapons to Ukraine, but Moscow denies that. When one of the moderators asked him if detente meant that the administration had accepted the status quo, Ford answered that there was “no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, and there never will be under a Ford administration”. He was responding to reporters’ questions, and he added, after talking about the DNC emails, that if Russian Federation has more emails to please release them. I said, I’m going to disavow that?
Trump has in the past praised Putin, saying he was a stronger leader than President Barack Obama. President Bill Clinton spoke with Boris Yeltsin constantly during his presidency on subjects from strengthening Russia’s institutions to Saddam Hussein’s alleged WMD program.
Obama’s comments come in an interview with The Straits Times newspaper ahead of Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s visit to Washington on Tuesday. And that was under the Obama administration with his strong ties to North Atlantic Treaty Organisation…

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Sunday said Russian intelligence services hacked into Democratic National Committee (DNC) computers. And I said he is a tough cookie or something to that effect.
“I said very simply: they’re not gonna do it on my watch, essentially”, Trump said of his interview.
Prodded by his interviewer, the Republican presidential candidate modified his statement afterward. They see we’ve been greatly weakened, both militarily and otherwise, and he certainly does not respect President Obama. Stephanopoulos suggested. “Okay, well, he’s there in a certain way”, Trump allowed.
Donald Trump speaks at the CPAC Conference in 2014 where he praised Putin’s skills during the invasion of Crimea. Just like when Melania Trump was accused of plagiarizing portions of Michelle Obama’s 2008 convention speech, Manafort’s initial instinct is to just deny everything and blame the Clinton campaign and the press.
Khizr Khan told CNN on Monday that “We want to be out of this controversy”. The GOP candidate said that he would look into recognizing Crimea as part of Russian Federation, even hinting that he’s leaning towards accepting Russia’s claim to the territory.

While Trump’s position on North Atlantic Treaty Organisation has delighted the Kremlin, Clinton’s statement clearly stung.
