Talk about mealy-mouthed:

Q: Will you recognise Crimea as part of Russia?

Trump says President Obama allowed that to happen. The Russians then built a bridge to Crimea, and a submarine port.

He says he would not have allowed it to happen.

He says he cannot say what will happen next. But he is “not happy” about the annexation of Crimea.

Is it me, or is he kind of recognising Crimea as part of Russia in that statement?
