US President Donald Trump on Saturday (March 15) blasted media outlets for allegedly spreading this ‘fake news’ that Russian President Vladimir Putin made his close aide Steve Witkoff wait for nine hours. Taking to his Truth Social media platform, Trump insisted there was “no nine-hour wait” and his “highly respected ambassador and special representative” had several productive meetings.
“Yesterday evening I read that Russian President Vladimir Putin made my highly respected ambassador and special representative Steve Witkoff wait for more than nine hours, although there was actually no waiting,” Trump wrote.
“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 signs, I hope, are very good! In conclusion, there was no nine-hour wait or any wait at all!” He wrote further.
The US leader added that the media “invented” this story to demean and humiliate.
“The only reason they made up that story is to try and DEMEAN, because they are sick degenerates, that have to start reporting the News correctly. This is why they have lost their ratings, their audience, and respect. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
