A book is making a lot of talk this Wednesday, due to the revelations it makes on the links between American presidential candidate Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. This is the new work by American journalist Bob Woodward, “War”, to be published on October 15.
It is notably indicated that the Russian president and the Republican candidate have spoken seven times since his departure from the White House in 2021, according to an anonymous adviser who testifies in the book. A revelation quickly denied by the Kremlin. “No, that’s not the case“, assured Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov to the Russian news site RBK.
According to the account of the American media which had access to the book, the work also reveals that Donald Trump had secretly sent Covid-19 screening tests to Vladimir Putin when he was at the White House, in the midst of the pandemic. of coronavirus. A period when the United States lacked it.
Still according to our colleagues across the Atlantic, the Republican candidate asked his Russian counterpart: “I don’t want you to tell anyone“.
Russia also criticized on Wednesday the comments of the American vice-president and Democratic candidate for the White House, Kamala Harris, on Vladimir Putin, seeing it as a “frustration” of the United States.
Kamala Harris assured this Monday that she would not meet Vladimir Putin to discuss the conflict in Ukraine without kyiv being represented and sought to clearly differentiate herself from her Republican competitor, Donald Trump. “If Donald Trump were president, Putin would be sitting in kyiv right now, let’s be clear“, she insisted. “He says, ‘Oh, I can end it on day one.’ Do you know what that is? It’s a surrender.“
“This only shows the frustration and powerlessness of the ruling circles in Washington“, assured the Russian embassy, castigating a “offensive rhetoric“and the”anger“of the United States, due, according to Moscow, to their”inability” to manage relations with Russia.
