President Donald Trump has refused to condemn Russia over the poisoning of opposition figure Alexei Navalny, saying he has not seen proof.
He said the case was "tragic" but urged reporters to focus instead on China, which he said was a bigger threat to the world than Russia.
Nato and Germany say there is "proof beyond doubt" that Mr Navalny was attacked with a Novichok nerve agent.
His team says he was poisoned on the Kremlin's orders. Russia denies this.
On Saturday, the Russian foreign ministry suggested that if a Novichok-type nerve agent had indeed been used, it did not necessarily originate in Russia.

How much smoke must there be before the Trump Cult acknowledges that there is a fire in the White House?

...and I will refrain from condemning you as a raving psychotic socialist murderer in the style of Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and Pol Pot until I see proof. Isn't that the way it works? You see proof first, rather than reacting to journalistic innuendo, right?
