July 16, 2018, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement in response to the Helsinki summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin:
“The Trump-Putin summit will enrage the #NeverTrump minority in our nation as it reconfirms the President’s firm commitment to America’s interests in confronting world leaders. Trump was very presidential at the summit. Perhaps out of the many topics of discussion, the most significant may have been the reaffirmation by President Putin of Israel’s security. This matters because Iran has designs on placing troops on the Syrian-Israeli border, an action that the U.S. and Russia can prevent. Iran’s attempt to establish Middle East hegemony is counter to the interests of both the U.S. and Russia and the continued dialogue between the nation’s two leaders is necessary to prevent the fuse being lit on the Middle East powder keg.”
