Russian President Vladimir Putin
has reacted to the impeachment of US President Donald Trump
Donald Trump was formally impeached by the US House of Representatives for
abuse of power and obstruction of Congress on Wednesday.
The vote followed weeks of
testimony, related to his dealings with Ukraine. 230 to 197 votes in the
Democratic-majority House saw to the impeachment of the US president.
Trump will, however, remain in
office until he is tried and convicted by the senate.
Putin on Thursday predicted that
Trump’s impeachment will be rejected by the US Senate.
Mr Putin said on Thursday at his
annual news conference in Moscow that the move is a continuation of the
Democrats’ fight against President Trump.
Mr Putin said that “the party
that lost the election is continuing the fight by other means.”
“The effort to remove Trump is
yet to pass the Senate where the Republicans have a majority.
“They will be unlikely to remove
a representative of their own party from office on what seems to me an
absolutely far-fetched reason.”
