United Nations (U.N.) Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday accused Russia of flagrantly and aggressively using a nerve agent to poison a former Russian spy in the U.K., and called on Moscow to “come clean” about its chemical weapons program.
“Russia must fully cooperate with the U.K.’s investigation and come clean about its own chemical weapons program,” Haley said at the U.N. in New York.
Haley’s comments were the strongest to date from a Trump administration official regarding the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia, with a nerve agent. U.K. officials have blamed Russia for the attack.
White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah said Wednesday that it “certainly appears” likely that Russia was behind the poisoning.
