Donald Trump remains silent after Alexei Navalny's death: Republican Haley takes a swipe
But someone who is otherwise at a loss for a word has so far remained silent. Donald Trump has not yet commented on the death of Navalny, whose fellow inmate reported “unbelievable madness”. And this is exactly where the Republican US presidential candidate Nikki Haley starts criticizing her internal party rival.
She attacks the former US president sharply because of his lack of reaction to the death of the prominent Russian Kremlin critic. “Either he's on Putin's side and thinks it's cool that Putin murdered one of his political opponents, or he just doesn't think it's that important,” Haley told the television station on Sunday ABC. Both would be “worrying” and problematic, emphasized the former US ambassador to the United Nations.

Navalny was not mentioned in the article, nor was Russia or Putin.

Instead, he would encourage Russia to “do whatever it wants with them.” While Trump apparently already has plans to restructure NATO, the statement sparked international outrage.
“All he did at that moment was to strengthen Putin,” criticized Haley, who, like Trump, is running for the US Republican presidential nomination. “He sided with a guy who kills his political opponents, he sided with a guy who arrested American journalists and held them hostage, and he sided with a guy who… “I want to make one thing clear to the Russian people: 'Don't challenge me in the next election, otherwise the same thing will happen to you'.” (with material from afp)
