President Donald Trump appeared to signal his displeasure with Russian President Vladimir Putin by sharing a New York Post editorial that sharply criticizes the Kremlin and argues Trump should “turn up the heat” on Russia.

Trump in a social-media post on Wednesday shared the editorial, titled “Putin ‘attack’ bluster shows Russia is the one standing in the way of peace,” without making any additional remarks.
