Trump's 'delight' and the 'discomfort' of Democrats: How global media is reacting to the Mueller report
Global media are reacting to the results of one of the most gripping investigations into a U.S. president in modern times –and the somewhat unexpected result of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into whether President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
Trump tweeted that the report's conclusions were a"total exoneration" of him. But in a letter to key members of Congress on Sunday, Attorney General Barr noted that while Mueller's report"does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."Disappointed by Barr's summary of the investigation, Democrats have called Mueller's report to be published in full.
U.K. newspapers largely focused on Trump's jubilant and"delighted" reaction to Barr's summary of the report and the Democrats' disappointment at the result - and what it could mean for the 2020 election race. The Telegraph's U.S. Editor Ben Riley-Smith and Washington Editor Nick Allen noted in their reaction that"Democrats found themselves in a politically uncomfortable position, being asked during TV interviews whether they agreed there was no collusion and whether they trusted Mr Mueller - a man whose integrity they had repeatedly trumpeted in public."
Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper noted that while the report said there was"no proof the president is not absolved" while Germany's public broadcaster Deutsche Welle noted on its website that the report actually gives"no respite" for Trump as other investigations into his administration and his business dealings will"continue unabated."
Trump's"victory" has barely made a dint in Chinese newspapers that largely report on the world through the lens of the ruling Communist party. The China Daily newspaper is focused on President Xi Jinping's visit to France on Monday while the Mueller report's findings are also absent from the South China Morning Post and Communist Party-run People's Daily.
