The two presidents, who got off the respective presidential planes, after the handshakes were on the “beast” by themselves
From our correspondent
Anchorage – even if theMeeting between Trump and Putin will no longer be private, as initially expected, on their trip on «Beast» – the US presidential car – The two leaders were alone, without the interpreters.
And therefore in the 10-15 minutes that it takes to get to the place where the summit is held (where they are accompanied by Two councilors each), the two were able to Talk a little alone. In fact, there were only the driver and a security agent in the car.
Inside the “Beast”, Putin sat on the rear seat on the left and some stolen images portrayed him smiling. Trump instead was sitting on the right.
Impossible, of course, to know what the two have said: This could add mystery to what the two leaders discuss in private, just like a conversation that had in Hamburg in 2017, at the beginning of the first term of Trump.
It is extremely unusual to see the leaders of two superpowers travel in the same car. Already in 2018 the Tycoon had expressed the desire to host the North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un Jong U On his car, but the councilors had convinced him to give up.
Not only that: the Russian media confirmed that Putin went aboard the Beast despite the fact that his Russian manufacturing staff was also there Aurus waiting for him on the Anchorage track.
