Former U.S. President Donald Trump on 21 August posted a composite photograph on his Truth Social platform that places his recent encounter with Russian President Vladimir Putin alongside the well-known 1959 image of then-Vice President Richard Nixon pointing at Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev during the “Kitchen Debate” at Moscow’s American National Exhibition. Trump’s picture, apparently taken during his meeting with Putin in Anchorage earlier this year, shows him pressing a finger against the Russian leader’s chest—mirroring Nixon’s gesture toward Khrushchev in the historic Cold-War exchange. By pairing the photos, Trump sought to draw a direct comparison between the two moments, invoking a period when U.S.–Soviet tensions were publicly aired yet stops short of elaborating on any policy implications.
