Trump: We'll put sanctions on Russia 'as soon as they very much deserve it'

Trump on Wednesday said his administration would levy additional sanctions on Russia “as soon as they very much deserve it.”

The comments, made at a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, capped a four-day stretch of confusion over whether the Trump administration would punish Moscow for its alleged role in a recent chemical attack in Syria.

Trump began to walk away from the microphone, but returned to answer a shouted question about the sanctions. He then went on to tout his record on confronting Russia.

“There has been nobody tougher on Russia than Donald Trump,” the president said, restating one of his common talking points.
He noted that he has helped raise money for NATO, as well as a recent military strike in Syria that was carried out in coordination with France and the United Kingdom.

I think the next administration will have to begin with the assumption that all of our state secrets have been compromised. What a rebuilding job is in front of us!!

He actually said that?:... “as soon as they VERY much deserve it” - yep, who else speaks so awkwardly, plus throws in as many VERYs as he does? Just him.

Anyway, thanks for posting, Loggin!
