American journalist Bob Woodward's new book 'War' has created a stir across the world as soon as it came in the market. Earlier in the book, Woodward had claimed that US President Joe Biden was angry at Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu due to the Israeli army's invasion of Rafah. Biden scolded Netanyahu a lot on the phone and also abused him. Now Woodward has made a sensational revelation about former US President Donald Trump. It is claimed that during the Corona period, when millions of people in America sacrificed their lives, Trump was secretly helping Russia. Then Putin had also warned Trump.
The bitterness in the relations between America and Russia is not present today, Soviet Russia supporting Germany during the World War itself and then the disintegration of Soviet Russia into many countries after the Second World War is just a symbol of the enmity between these two countries. Both Russia and America are in competition to make themselves the most powerful. This is the reason why relations between the two, being the most powerful countries, are not cordial. Even during the Russia-Ukraine war, America is providing help to Ukraine, which keeps provoking Russia.
Stirred by American journalist's revelations
American journalist Bob Woodward has claimed in a book, “War”, published on Tuesday that Trump secretly sent Covid testing kits to Putin despite shortages in the US during the Corona epidemic and that even after Trump left office, Russian leaders Stay in touch. In 2020, when the coronavirus took a rampant and frightening form in the US, Trump sent a batch of corona testing kits to Moscow. The book says that Putin gladly accepted this supply, but kept it a secret to avoid causing political blow to Trump.
These claims of the book are also dangerous for Trump because presidential elections are to be held in America next month and Donald Trump is the candidate from the Republican Party. His competition is against Democrat candidate Kamala Harris.
Russia agrees to the claims
There has also been a reaction from the Kremlin on this revelation in 'War'. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday that “earlier they did not have corona testing kits that were working properly and they did not have enough equipment. After this, they got help with testing kits with the help of many countries, including America.” We sent supplies of ventilator units to the US, they sent us testing kits in response.” The Kremlin confirmed the book's claims that then-US President Donald Trump sent a batch of Covid testing kits to Russian President Vladimir Putin, but also said it was part of an international exchange early in the pandemic.
Putin told Trump to keep this a secret
According to Woodward, Putin expressed gratitude for Trump's help and said, “I don't want you to tell anyone about this because people will be angry at you, not me.” Woodward also cited an unnamed Trump aide who said Trump and Putin have spoken at least seven times since 2021. Let us tell you that despite Russia's full-scale war on Ukraine, Trump was in constant contact with Putin, even after knowing that America was helping Ukraine in the war.
