EU leader accuses Trump of being a ‘Soviet or Russian asset’

The Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa has accused the US President of being “objectively, a Soviet or Russian asset.”

This comes as Donald Trump keeps vowing to hit Russia with powerful sanctions to cripple their economy, but yet he continues to do nothing in response to Vladimir Putin, despite his public threats in the White House.

de Sousa told CNN in an interview, “With one peculiar and complex thing — the supreme leader of the world’s greatest superpower is, objectively, a Soviet or Russian asset. He functions as an asset,” he said in comments reported by CNN.

“I am saying that, objectively speaking, the new American leadership has strategically favoured the Russian Federation.”

Questions keep being asked about Trump’s possibly corrupt relationship with Russia and their security services, which has led to accusations that he was recruited by the KGB in the 80s or 90s.

Trump has refused to set a deadline or reveal what penalties he will impose on Moscow for their continued stalling with peace.

Trump has been saying that he has “It’s very serious, what I have in mind, if I have to do it,” saying that Washington could potentially launch “an economic war” which would be “bad for Russia.”

Earlier this year General Keith Kellogg, the Special Envoy to Ukraine was removed from discussions with Russia as the Kremlin told Trump he is “not our kind of person.”

NBC News reported the Kremlin told Trump that they perceive General Kellogg as being too sympathetic to Ukraine, following Moscow’s demands he was removed from all high-level peace talks with Russian officials.

A Russian official told NBC News reported that Putin thinks that Kellogg is too pro-Ukraine.

Alastair Campbell who is a strategist and the former spokesman for the former Prime Minister Tony Blair has questioned President Trump saying he has long believed “Trump is a Russian asset.”

Campbell said, “I have long thought the “Trump is a Russian asset” line was the stuff of conspiracy theory. Not so sure now. Everything he says and does feels like it is pre-scripted in, by and for the Kremlin. Scary times.”

Former KGB officer Alnur Mussayev has said that Trump was recruited as an asset for the KGB in 1987 when he was on a trip to Moscow.

Mussayev said when Trump was aged 40-years old the KGB enlisted him and he was known as “Krasnov” which come from the word Krasniy that means red. American journalist and author Craig Unger told Euronews there is a difference between an agent and an asset.

He said, “While an agent is employed by and intelligence agency and paid, an asset is a reliable friend who will do favours,” and it seems that Trump is and has given Russia a lot of favours. Trump had previously provided tabloid-fodder for the American press, but when he returned from Russia, he began portraying himself as a savvy foreign policy analyst,” Unger told Euronews.

Mussayev ran the KGB in Kazakhstan, and he was responsible for foreign intelligence, internal security counterintelligence and was aware that Trump was recruited by the KGB.

Mussayev wrote, “In 1987, I served in the 6th Directorate of the KGB of the USSR in Moscow. The most important area of ​​work of the 6th Directorate was the recruitment of businessmen from capitalist countries. It was that year that our Office recruited 40-year-old businessman from the United States, Donald Trump, under the pseudonym ‘Krasnov’.”

He added, “In the activity of intelligence agencies, as in life, everything is possible, even the wildest and incredible things.

“For example, recruitment of future leaders of state and even the President of the United States.”
