As the United States prepared on April 11 to respond to a suspected chemical attack by the Russia-backed regime in Syria, President Donald Trump lamented the decline in relations with Moscow to below Cold War levels and blamed the predicament on the Russia-collusion investigation.

“Much of the bad blood with Russia is caused by the Fake & Corrupt Russia Investigation, headed up by the all Democrat loyalists, or people that worked for Obama,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “No Collusion, so they go crazy!”
