stuff | Fears Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump may be pursuing a
Russian agenda with his candidacy have triggered a wave of alarm in the
US.
A series of links between Trump's circle of advisers, his
policy positions on the future of NATO, his statements of admiration for
Russian president Vladimir Putin and even the overlap between his
supporters and those touting pro-Russia views online have contributed to
this view.
The concerns have prompted a series of high-profile
American commentators and analysts to suggest Trump may be getting
backing from Russia for his US campaign.
Respected publications such as Slate, economist Paul Krugman writing in The New York Times, and The Washington Post have
commented on the convergence between Trump's statements and
geopolitical positions that Russia has long sought, with worrying
implications should Trump become president.
