“Putin is petrified”
It's in his book, “War”, that Bob Woodward, a long-time Washington Post journalist, reveals the story; Trump is said to have secretly sent Covid screening tests to the Russian president.
Bob Woodward reveals the behind-the-scenes of the White House, that’s where he likes to take his readers and it’s a journey he has once again strived to take his readers on his new book. He describes the Republican candidate as “worse than Richard Nixon”. “Trump has been the most impulsive and reckless president in history,” he writes, before adding: “and the candidate shows the same personality in 2024”. To give credence to this criticism, the journalist and writer recounts an episode dating back to 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world. Donald Trump is said to have secretly transferred screening tests to Vladimir Putin, even though the United States was facing a shortage, reports France Info.
Vladimir Putin, completely petrified by the idea of the disease, reportedly advised Trump not to reveal this secret.
Kamala Harris didn't hesitate to use the staggering episode to use to her advantage. "Everyone in America was struggling to get kits and this guy was sending them to Russia, to a murderous dictator, for his own personal use?"
In his new book, Bob Woodward, also mentions the telephone conversations between the two men (7 according to him), since Trump left the presidency. On the other hand, Republicans continue to deny it all: "None of these stories fabricated by Bob Woodward are true, it's the work of a truly insane and unbalanced man".
