Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley posted a carefully worded tweet on Thursday after President Trump defended Kim Jong-un’s denials of knowledge of what happened to Otto Warmbier, the American student who was imprisoned in North Korea and died shortly after his return to the U.S.
Americans know the cruelty that was placed on Otto Warmbier by the North Korean regime. Our hearts are with the Warmbier family for their strength and courage. We will never forget Otto. ❤️??

That didn’t sound lukewarm. Not a fan at all, but that was pretty direct.
Let’s see what nasty nickname does trump comes up for backstabbing, disloyal, ungrateful Nimrata …
If it was direct it would call out Trump. This is standard boilerplate diplo pablum that doesn’t lay it at his feet.
No, direct would have been namechecking Trump and denouncing his support of a tyrannical regime forthrightly.
Yep, at least for Diplospeak.
