Donald Trump is against the US intervening to try and bring WNBA star Brittney Griner home from a Russian jail.
Brittney was allegedly caught with hashish oil on her person, which is illegal in Russia. She is currently on trial and could face years in prison. The US is trying to get her back, offering to exchange her for a Russian arms dealer.
“She knew you don’t go in there loaded up with drugs, and she admitted it,” Trump said on the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show. “I assume she admitted it without too much force because it is what it is, and it certainly doesn’t seem like a very good trade, does it? He’s absolutely one of the worst in the world, and he’s gonna be given his freedom because a potentially spoiled person goes into Russia loaded up with drugs.”
Trump continued: “She went in there loaded up with drugs into a hostile territory where they’re very vigilant about drugs. They don’t like drugs. And she got caught. And now we’re supposed to get her out — and she makes, you know, a lot of money, I guess. We’re supposed to get her out for an absolute killer and one of the biggest arms dealers in the world. Killed many Americans. Killed many people.”
