Congressman Suozzi Issues Statement on Trump/putin Summit

Statement

Date: July 16, 2018
Issues: Foreign Affairs

Congressman Tom Suozzi (D -- Long Island, Queens) issued the following statement regarding the Trump / Putin Summit in Helsinki, Finland.

"I cannot understand why the President continues to have a blind spot with the Russians and Putin. Something is seriously wrong. Not only has Senator John McCain, Senator Bob Corker, along with many Republican members of Congress, spoken out, but most importantly, the President's own Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats, who says that Russia has continued its "pervasive efforts to undermine our democracy'.

The President has thrown America's intelligence community under the bus and sided with the Russians while on foreign soil.

The Russians have acted illicitly in Crimea, the Ukraine and in Syria. They are working to undermine democracy throughout the world. The President is just plain wrong here."
