Trump secretly sent Covid test kits to Vladimir Putin despite a US shortage
: Then-president Donald during the pandemic, and spoke multiple times with the Russian leader after leaving office, Bob Woodward says in an explosive new book.
With the coronavirus raging in 2020, Trump sent a batch of coveted tests to his counterpart in Moscow. Putin accepted the supplies but sought to avoid political fallout for Trump, urging he not reveal the dispatch of medical equipment, the book says. The Post, reporting Woodward's account, said that at one point in early 2024, Trump ordered an aide out of his office in his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida because he wanted to hold a private call with ex-KGB officer Putin.
“War” hits bookshelves October 15, just three weeks before a critical US election in which Trump is locked in a tight race against Vice President Kamala Harris. “Everybody was scrambling to get kits is sending them to Russia, to a murderous dictator for his personal use,“ Harris said. “Trump was the most reckless and impulsive president in American history and is demonstrating the very same character as a presidential candidate in 2024,“ Woodward writes.They are “the work of a truly demented and deranged man who suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,“ spokesman Steven Cheung told AFP.
