"The United States is deeply concerned by reported preliminary conclusions from German medical experts that Russian opposition activist Aleksei Navalny was poisoned," Pompeo said.&nbsp;

Navalny was sent to hospital in Siberia after he fainted in a plane which was forced to make an emergency landing. The Russian Opposition leader had reportedly had tea before the flight which his supporters said was laced with poison.
