The two most powerful men in the world met on 16 July in Helsinki, Finland, where they discussed a series of global challenges and bilateral issues.
During their meeting in Helsinki, President Putin revealed that he prayed for Trump to win in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, saying: “Yes, I wanted him to win because he spoke of normalization of Russian-U.S. ties. Isn’t it natural to feel sympathy to a person who wanted to develop relations with our country? It’s normal.”
After the meeting in Helsinki, Trump had announced that a second meeting would happen.
The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media. I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed, including stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear……..
