Trump’s Russia praise raises ‘security issues’ – Clinton

WASHINGTON: Hillary Clinton on Sunday (Monday in Manila) sharply criticized Donald Trump over his “absolute allegiance” to Russian policy aims, saying it raised both “national security issues” and new doubts about his temperament.

Trump, her Republican rival in the race for the White House, responded defiantly, saying he had “no relationship” with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and had never met nor spoken to him by phone, but that “if our country got along with Russia, that would be a great thing.”
