Trump and Putin Speak in English During Brief Alaska Meeting
Former U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held an unscheduled encounter on an airport tarmac in Alaska on 15 Aug., according to multiple on-site media reports. Observers said the two leaders spoke directly in English without the aid of an interpreter before boarding the U.S. presidential limousine, known as “the Beast,” where the conversation reportedly continued. Commentators at the scene described the exchange as warm and suggested the personal rapport could facilitate future peace discussions between Washington and Moscow. Neither government has issued an official statement on the substance of the conversation.
