Trump did not argue with the fact that Putin the killer

US President Donald Trump in an interview with Fox News did not dispute the allegations that Putin is a killer. It is reported by The Washington Post with reference to a minute announcement of the interview placed on the website of the TV channel. Completely the conversation with Trump will be demonstrated on Sunday.

The American president once again emphasized: "I really respect him (Putin. - Ed.). I respect many people, but this does not mean that I can get along with them."

The interviewer Bill O'Reilie remarked: "Putin is a killer."

“There are many killers,” Trump answered. “We have many killers. Do you think that our country is so innocent?”

The United States is better to get along with Russia than not to get along, the president added. “If Russia helps us in such an important issue as the fight against IG and Islamic terrorism around the world,” he explained, then this is good.

Earlier this week, the Open Russia functionary Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr. fell into intensive care with symptoms resembling poisoning for the second time in two years . The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal of their editorial articles accused the Kremlin of a political reprisal against the opponent. These articles attracted the attention of the Republican Senator John McCain, who placed links to them on his twitter .

As noted, Trump did not previously dispute Putin's accusations of murders. In December 2015, MSNBC journalist Joe Skarboro noticed in an interview with a billionaire: "He (Putin. - Ed.) Killing journalists who do not agree with him." “I think our country also kills many,” Trump objected.
