Alexey Navalny, Russian opposition leader and anti-corruption activist, was apparently poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok, a chemical developed and closely controlled by the Russian military. Navalny is not a friend of Putin.

What has Donald Trump said about this attempted murder against Putinโ€™s political opponent? Oh, the U.S. has not seen any proof of the poisoning. How long will it be before Donald gets enough proof? Or will he believe his friend and idol Vladimir when he denied any involvement. We shall see.
