[Trump said Russia would not attack NATO] August 28, U.S. President Trump said in response to a question on the 27th that Russia would not attack NATO. Trump said that day that he had had a good conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin and that he believed that Russia "would not attack NATO territory." Earlier in the day, Trump made a similar statement in a phone interview with the Axios news website. He called CIA Director Ratcliffe's visit to Russia on the 25th "routine" and was puzzled by the relevant media reports. Trump said: "Ratcliffe meets with his Russian counterparts every six months or a year. They have a good relationship. No special information was conveyed at that time, and nothing unusual happened." According to the US "Wall Street Journal" report on the 26th, Ratcliffe made a surprise visit to Russia recently with the intention of warning Russia not to attack NATO member states. (CCTV News)
