Chess champion Garry Kasparov denounced President Donald Trumps statements as a sick joke after his joint news conference with Russian president Vladimir Putin. The high-profile Putin critic accused Trump of selling out U.S. interests in pursuit of some secret agreement with his Russian counterpart during their private, one-on-one meeting in Helsinki.
Kasparov said Putin had long sought bilateral equality with the U.S. despite his human rights abuses and aggression against former Soviet states, and he said Trump gave the Russian president all that and more.
That Trump not only allows this, but happily defends the dictator who recently ordered a Russian military intelligence unit to attack the USA, is either an overwhelming display of weakness or treason, he tweeted.
Trump hits Obama for not stopping Putins attacks on the US, he added. He hits Merkel for making a pipeline deal with Putin. But next to Putin himself, he wont say anything. Is he wearing a tie or a leash? #PutinsPoodle
