Barack Obama said that the U.S. government will do everything possible to stop Snowden in Russia. “We are pursuing all legal venues and working with other countries to comply with the law”, has expressed barack Obama.
The White House has blamed the Chinese regime for allowing Edward Snowden “to flight take flight” and warned that the incident would have “a negative impact” on relations between the two countries.
“We do not believe it was a mere technical decision of an immigration officer in Hong Kong to allow Snowden to leave China, but a conscious decision to allow a fugitive escape,” said presidential spokesman Jay Carney, who said the United States had met the appropriate requirements to deliver their extradition request.
Snowden fled to Hong Kong a few hours after the city authorities requested t the U.S. for more information about the crimes against him. One end of the White House believes, that was the real proof of the political nature of the decision to escape the extradition.
Carney explained that the U.S. government is in contact with the authorities in Hong Kong since June 10 and a week later filed its extradition request. “Then said they did not need more explanation and only on June 21 asked for more information,” said White House spokesman, that explained that the United States was preparing its response to the Chinese authorities in order to capture Snowden.
The White House spokesman was not convinced by the explanations of Hong Kong on the flight of Snowden and ensures that its diplomats made it clear in advance that the United States had canceled his passport: ” Hong Kong authorities were advised of the status of Snowden documents sufficiently in advance to have forbidden him to travel. therefore we do not believe the suggestion that China could not have acted. “
The White House seems to had been internally stolen by Snowden’s documents which are in the hands of various foreign intelligence services. Although his spokesman did not define the filter as a spy for the enemy and has not provided details to justify this assertion.
As he did at dawn, official spokeswoman of the White House Carney, has asked Russia to hand Snowden over as soon as possible and recalled that the United States has extradited several Russian criminals at the request of the Government of Moscow.
