The meeting between Trump and Putin in Budapest: the White House scolded a journalist who asked about the summit

Share: The spokeswoman of the White House, Caroline Levitt, sharply responded to a journalist who was interested in why the new meeting between the presidents of the USA and the Russian Federation was decided to be held in Hungary. In particular, when asked who chose Budapest as the meeting place, Levitt responded with the phrase: "Your mother chose.

" The journalist was stunned and asked whether Levitt thought such an answer was funny, HuffPost writes (because the incident in question happened with his correspondent). The official continued to answer in the same aggressive tone. "It's funny that you call yourself a journalist. You're just a lefty that no one takes seriously, not even your colleagues in the media. They just don't tell you about it so directly.

It's time to ask me your stupid and biased questions," the White House spokeswoman replied. It will be recalled that earlier Trump announced that he would meet with Putin in Budapest. The President of the United States made such a statement after a telephone conversation with the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin. The meeting should take place in the capital of Hungary, it will be preceded by meetings of American and Russian high-ranking officials.

In particular, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will hold the first talks. Subsequently, Bloomberg wrote that the meeting in Budapest will strengthen Moscow's position. Analysts believe that these negotiations will give the Russian Federation time to rest and weaken Western support for Ukraine. Meanwhile, Hungary is ready to meet Putin, despite an arrest warrant from the ICC. "Peace can only be achieved through negotiations," commented the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary, Peter Szijjártó.
