Trumps national security advisers warned him not to congratulate Putin. He did it anyway.
President Trump did not follow specific warnings from his national security advisers when he congratulated Russian President Vladimir Putin Tuesday on his reelection, including a section in his briefing materials in all-capital letters stating DO NOT CONGRATULATE, according to officials familiar with the call.
Trump also chose not to heed talking points from aides instructing him to condemn Putin about the recent poisoning of a former Russian spy in the United Kingdom with a powerful nerve agent, a case that both the British and U.S. governments have blamed on Moscow.
The presidents conversation with Putin, which Trump called a very good call, prompted fresh criticism of his muted tone toward one of the United Statess biggest geopolitical rivals amid the ongoing special counsel investigation into Russias election interference and the Trump campaigns contacts with Russian officials.
