.@realDonaldTrump’s brazen insults and denigration of one of America’s most steadfast allies, Germany, is an embarrassment. His behavior this morning is another profoundly disturbing signal that the president is more loyal to President Putin than to our NATO allies.
If POTUS leaves Putin mtg w/out ironclad assurances & concrete steps toward a full cessation of Russian attacks on the US, this mtg will not only be a failure, it will be a grave step back for the future of intl order & global security. A successful mtg means real action, now.
The president needs to remember that, as Commander-in-Chief, his duty is to protect the American people from foreign threats, not to sell out our democracy to Putin.
