Leon Panetta: “the President has to make very clear to Russia and to Putin that we will not tolerate this kind of behavior”

Mr. Trump has always prided himself on being a dealmaker, pledging in his campaign that he would resolve such conflicts in the first few days of his presidency.

I think the House, both the Speaker, the Republicans, the Democrats, have to come together to now move this supplemental. It is critical to the message we send to the world about U.S. world leadership.

Well, I think you saw a tragic and historic moment take place in the Oval Office, in which 80 years of United States foreign policy has largely been turned on its head.

What Trump is trying to do in order to convince Putin to come to the table is not going to work if Putin senses weakness on the part of the United States.
