Faso, Delgado condemn Trump statements

Nov 22, 2018 12:34 am
Dan Freedman reports for the Albany Times Union that Rep. John Faso says that what President Donald Trump said about the murder of an American journalist was "better left unsaid.” “Maybe he did and maybe he didn’t!” Trump said Nov. 20 about whether Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia ordered the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Faso says the president “unnecessarily downplays the likely involvement of Saudi leadership in this appalling crime. As such, much of his statement would have been better left unsaid.” But, Faso, a Republican from Kinderhook, said, the United States, “has strategic reasons to stay involved diplomatically and militarily with Saudi Arabia. The murder of Mr. Khashoggi has, however, altered our relationship for the foreseeable future.” Representative-elect Antonio Delgado had a much stronger assessment. "Remaining a moral leader on the world stage and true to our commitment to advancing democracy requires a foreign policy grounded in our values," Delgado wrote on Twitter. "The current approach appears purely transactional and devoid of respect for basic human rights. Simply put, it is un-American." Read the full story in the Albany Times Union.
