Johnson Statement on U.S.-Russia Meeting
Washington, DC,
July 17, 2018
Rep. Mike Johnson (LA-04) released the following statement regarding the meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin: "Russia is not our ally, plain and simple. And while meeting with our adversaries to advance our priorities is in the best interests of the American people, these conversations should reflect the nature of those relationships. Putin should never be embraced as a friend of the United States. He must be held accountable for his nefarious activities and compelled to halt his subversive attacks not only on the U.S., but on democracies around the world.” |
