But someone who is otherwise at a loss for a word has so far remained silent.

After the death of Alexei Navalny: Donald Trump under criticism - campaign team only refers to online post
Navalny, a prominent opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin, died suddenly on Friday in a prison camp in the Arctic Circle at the age of 47.
Numerous Western politicians blame the Russian leadership and Putin himself for the death of his prominent opponent, including US President Joe Biden.
Former President Trump, on the other hand, has not said a word about Navalny's death in several public appearances since Friday.
When asked for comment, Trump's campaign team simply referred to a post on its Truth Social online service that said the United States was "no longer respected because we have an incompetent president who is weak and doesn't understand what the world thinks." “.
Navalny was not mentioned in the article, nor was Russia or Putin.

A week earlier, Trump, who has to pay a mega fine after a court ruling, said at a campaign appearance that he would not come to the aid of NATO members in the event of a Russian attack if their defense spending was below NATO targets.
Instead, he would even encourage Russia to “do whatever it wants with them.”
While Trump apparently already has plans for how he wants to restructure NATO, the statement sparked international outrage.

“All he did at that moment was to strengthen Putin,” criticized Haley, who, like Trump, is running for the US Republican presidential nomination.
“He sided with a guy who kills his political opponents, he sided with a guy who arrested American journalists and held them hostage, and he sided with a guy who... I want to make one thing clear to the Russian people: 'Don't challenge me in the next election, otherwise the same thing will happen to you'.” (
