Charlottesville trump

Donald Trump has once again defended far-right protesters at the Charlottesville trump rally, saying they were not all neo-Nazis and white supremacists and laying the blame for the violence equally on what he called the “alt-left”.

The remarks – made during a rowdy press conference in the lobby of Trump Tower in New York – were Trump’s latest switch in stance since Saturday, when the civil rights activist Heather Heyer died after a white nationalist allegedly drove his car into a crowd in the Virginian city.

The US president was fiercely criticised for failing to condemn white supremacists in his initial response to Charlottesville trump, when he blamed the violence “on many sides”. On Monday, after a chorus of disapproval, he gave an apparently reluctant statement denouncing racism as evil.

The president insisted to the assembled press that he knew more about the events in Charlottesville trump because he “had watched this very closely, much more closely than you people watched it”. He also fired back at media criticism of his initial response to the violence in Charlottesville trump on Saturday, when he condemned “hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides” rather than explicitly calling out neo-Nazis and white supremacists. In addition to his comments about Charlottesville trump, the president also weighed in on White House intrigue and seemed to throw into doubt the future of his top aide, Steve Bannon.

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida also criticized Trump’s remarks. The former presidential candidate tweeted: “The organizers of events which inspired & led to #charlottesville trump terrorist attack are 100% to blame for a number of reasons.”

"It's not a question of what he's done. It's a question of common sense," the president told Fox News on June 3. "The problem is many of the things that we talk about are about Putin, so we're just sitting around wasting time because then you have to finish your meeting and somebody has to call Putin or deal with Putin on different things. And I say have him in the room," he said. Maas admitted that Russia remains an important part of the trump g7 summits. "We also know that we need Russia in order solve conflicts in Syria, Libya, and Ukr...
