“There was no nine-hour wait or any waiting at all,” Donald Trump stated, responding to reports claiming his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, had to wait extensively before meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Fake news again! Why can’t they just be honest for once?” Trump wrote in his comments.
On the Truth Social platform, the U.S. President addressed claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin kept Steve Witkoff waiting for over nine hours.
“In reality, there was no waiting whatsoever. Other meetings with Russian representatives also took place—of course, these took some time but were very productive,” Trump wrote.
The U.S. leader added that everything seems to be moving in the right direction.
“There was no nine-hour wait or any waiting at all,” he emphasized.
