Everyone hid: it turned out scandalous details of the meeting between Putin and Trump

According to the Financial Times, US President Donald Trump last year met with Russian President Vladimir Putin without an American translator or other members of his administration, writes, “Voice of America".

The Financial Times reported on Tuesday that Trump had a conversation with Putin on the margins of the G-20 summit in Buenos Aires in November after the evening event.

Together with Trump was his wife Melania, but on the American side there was neither a translator, nor another person who would take notes on the contents of the meeting. In this case, Putin, as the newspaper writes, was accompanied by a translator, and all four were at the table.

The representative of the Russian authorities told the publication that the conversation lasted about 15 minutes and included a discussion of the conflict in Syria and the clash of the Russian military with the Ukrainian sailors, which occurred a few days before. Trump and Putin also talked about the possibility of an official meeting, the official said.

The White House had previously admitted that Trump had an “informal conversation” with Putin during the G-20 summit, but did not reveal the details.

The Kremlin does not comment on whether the American translator was present during the conversation of the Russian and US presidents at the G20 summit in Argentina, but notes that the translator Vladimir Putin was always with him. This was said by the press secretary of the head of the Russian state Dmitry Peskov, reports TASS on Wednesday, January 30.

“On the sidelines of the summit, Putin had a huge amount of episodic communication on the sidelines, as they say, “on his feet.” It is absolutely none of our business who was there and who was not there with their translator. His translator is with President Putin constantly - this is our business and here we have complete stability and complete order. That’s all I can say on this matter,” Peskov emphasized, commenting on the publication of the Financial Times newspaper.

The White House has not yet commented on the Financial Times publication.
