According to incoming information, after leaving the White House, Trump spoke to Putin at least 7 times and sent him Covid tests for personal use amid a severe shortage in the United States.
While in office, Trump secretly sent Covid tests to Putin for his personal use in 2020. This happened due to a terrible shortage of tests in the United States, but for some unknown reason it was important for Trump to give a gift to give to Putin. The famous American journalist, editor of The Washington Post, Bob Woodward, writes about this in his book “War”.
When the coronavirus swept the world in 2020 and the United States, along with other countries, faced a shortage of tests to detect the disease, President Donald Trump secretly sent those scarce tests to Russian President Putin for his personal use, he writes “The Washington Post” with reference to passages from the book.
Putin, devastated by the virus, accepted the tests but took pains to avoid political consequences not for himself but for his American partner. He warned Trump not to reveal that he had sent scarce medical equipment to Moscow.
According to the book, Putin told Trump: “I don’t want you to tell anyone about this because people will be angry with you and not me.”
Four years later, the personal relationship between Putin and Trump appears to be intact, reports Woodward. In early 2024, the former president asked an aide to leave his office at Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Florida, so that a private phone call with the Russian leader, according to Woodward’s account.
The book does not describe what exactly the two talked about and it refers to a Trump campaign official who expressed doubt about such a connection. However, a Trump aide cited in the book indicated that the Republican nominee may have spoken to Putin as many as seven times since Trump left the White House in 2021.
As Dialog.UA reported, Trump previously promised to end Russia’s war with Ukraine and spoke of “good relations” with Zelensky and Putin.
