Donald Trump pointed the finger at Russia in the poisoning of a former Russian spy in Great Britain, saying he had spoken with the British prime minister, Theresa May. During a meeting with Ireland's prime minister in the Oval Office, Trump said it was something 'that should never, ever happen'. The US has joined Britain, France and Germany in a joint statement blaming Moscow for the poisoning of an ex-Russian spy who was living in England. The list of Russians now under sanction includes the 13 indicted last month by the US special counsel Robert Mueller as part of his Russia-related investigation into alleged election interference.
