CIA Chief Ratcliffe’s Moscow Visit: Trump Briefed As Russia-NATO Tensions Rise Over Ukraine
CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s surprise Moscow visit has triggered fresh questions after he met Russian intelligence officials but did not meet President Vladimir Putin, according to the Kremlin. U.S. President Donald Trump described the visit as somewhat routine and said Washington wants the Ukraine war to end, while declining to reveal details of the talks. A Wall Street Journal report, citing people briefed on the visit, said Ratcliffe delivered a warning to Russia against attacking NATO countries. Trump now appears to have been briefed on the meeting, after senior U.S. officials were seen leaving the White House amid growing scrutiny over the secretive contacts.#DonaldTrump #JohnRatcliffe #CIA #Russia #Moscow #Putin
