Putin did not pickle Witkoff: the special envoy did not wait for the reception for 9 hours — Trump

Russian President Vladimir Putin did not force special envoy of the US President Steve Witkoff to wait 9 hours for a reception, as the media reported. This was stated by US President Donald Trump in his account on the Truth Social social network.

"Fake news, as usual, is back at work! Why can't they be honest, just once? Last night I read that Putin made my esteemed ambassador and Special Representative Steve Witkoff wait for more than nine hours, although in fact there was no waiting. There were other meetings with other representatives of Russia, and obviously they took some time, but they were very productive. From that moment on, everything went quickly and efficiently, and all the signs, as I hope, are very good!" writes Trump, quoted by Ukrainian blogger Anatoly Shariy.

This story was invented in order to "try to humiliate," the American president noted.

"Once again: there was no nine—hour wait-and no wait at all! The only reason they made up this story is to try to HUMILIATE, because they are sick degenerates who need to start reporting the news correctly. That's why they lost their ratings, their audience and respect," Trump added.

As reported by EADaily, the special envoy of US President Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff, who is often called the resolver, was forced to wait eight hours to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and left Moscow a few hours later as soon as the negotiations ended. This was reported by the Sky TV channel.
