Summary

Donald Trump lashed out at media reports claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin kept his envoy, Steve Witkoff, waiting for over eight hours in a “power play.”

Sky News reported the delay, but Trump denied it on Truth Social, calling the story fake and the media “sick degenerates.” He insisted there was “no wait whatsoever” and that discussions were productive.

Trump also faced criticism for repeating Putin’s claims about Ukrainian troops being surrounded.

Witkoff left Moscow without securing a ceasefire agreement.
