Trump‘s response? No response.
The Trump administration has not condemned these actions. They haven’t said a word about it.
Additionally – the Trump-Pence administration’s has refused to join more than 30 countries in calling for a thorough investigation into the ongoing anti-LGBTQ crimes against humanity occuring in the Russian republic of Chechnya.
The United States refused to sign a joint statement issued by United Nations member nations calling for “a swift, thorough and impartial investigation into the alleged persecution,” and that those responsible be held accountable.
Since news of the Chechen atrocities first broke in April 2017, the Trump-Pence White House has refused to publicly condemn the anti-LGBTQ attacks.
