Liz Cheney: Trump Pledging ‘Retribution’ Mirrors What Putin Did to Navalny

In an appearance on CNN on Sunday with Jake Tapper, Liz Cheney commented on Donald Trump’s recent remarks about NATO countries that don’t pay their share of GDP and the recent death of Putin Opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who tragically Russian prison on Friday, under mysterious circumstances.

“Under a Trump Administration, the United States is unlikely to meet its NATO commitments”. She also compared Trump’s comments about ‘retribution’ to Alexei Navalny’s mysterious death in a Russian Prison, “when you think about Donald Trump for example pledging retribution, what Vladimir Putin did to Navalny is what retribution looks like.”

Cheney, a former member of the Republican House Conference in congress since her departure in 2022, has been one of the most outspoken critics of Former President Trump even prior to serving on the January 6th ‘Select Committee’. She has pledged to do ‘everything’ she can to make sure that Trump ‘never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office’. However, she did not endorse a Republican in the primary, and has endorsed a string of Democrats since she was defeated in record fashion in Wyoming by now Rep. Harriet Hageman.

Donald Trump’s comments about NATO are not new, and were very frequent during his first 4 years in office. This most notably, came during a meeting with NATO General Secretary Jans Stoltenberg in 2018 where Trump pressed him for allowing Germany to move forward with the Oil and Gas Pipeline known as ‘Nord Stream 2’ with Putin and Russia. At the time, Germany was paying into NATO a far less percentage of their GDP than the United States, and this angered President Trump.

If elected, Trump is expected to continue pressing member countries to pay their fair share into NATO, as they agreed to in the treaty.
